We absolutely love Delaware — it’s such a pretty state with so much to offer! But while the state is hardly lacking in natural beauty (one visit to one of the gorgeous beaches here will remind you of that), it’s true that there’s one feature we’re really missing here: waterfalls. Still, a visit one of the best state parks in the area will help you get that waterfall fix.

OK, so Delaware may be home to some amazing natural features, but waterfalls are rare here.

Alapocas Run State Park, located by Wilmington in New Castle, Delaware, is a gorgeous park with plenty of fun hiking trails, a quarry, and lots of rock climbing opportunities.
