You’ll Want To Spend The Entire Day At The Gorgeous Natural Pool In Delaware’s Bear Swamp Trail

Has anyone been feeling the itch to hike somewhere new? Delaware isn't known for square footage or huge forests, but there are plenty of hidden gems to explore within the state. Out here, nature is beautiful and bountiful even if there's not a ton of it. This beautiful natural pool is one beauty we can really appreciate. Why not mark this spot down for a future day trip? Nature is here whenever you need it at this natural pool. Come on down!

Welcome to today's adventure! Out near Smyrna, a trail named Bear Swamp Pool Tower Loop is a great way to really sight see in this spot. It's just so stunning!

Once you reach the area, you'll see just how beautiful this natural area can be. You can even bring your dog, as long as it's leashed. Watch out for ticks, though.

There's plenty to read here as well, if you'd like to learn about the local ecosystem and wildlife. There could be a whole new world out here, if you look close enough.

The 0.3-mile trail won't take long to navigate, so take your time making it out to the pools. It does have an observation tower, though, so you can get up high to spot more wildlife with your binoculars.

Most of the trail is flattened dirt that is a few feet wide, but some areas are a bit more narrow. If you need some extra space to get through trails, this one might not be a good fit.

With the beautiful pools, the short and beautiful hike, and all the wildlife you can spot, you'll have a great day out here.
