   #1 Seashore Hwy

   With a place like the pawesome Vanderwende Farm Creamery so close by, you’d need to be barking mad not to visit! Located on the outskirts of Bridgeville on Seashore Hwy, Vanderwende Farm is an ice-cream place like no other -- the shop is actually on farmland, and any of the cows wandering about outside could have supplied the main ingredient in your delicious treat. It doesn’t get much fresher than that! They do large scoops for only $3, and serve up everything from plain vanilla to specialty flavors like mulled apple cider. Best of all, wagging tails are welcome at their outdoor tables, so your buddy can join you for a cone as you gaze out at the pastoral landscape.

   #2 Downtown Milford

   36

   Downtown Milford is scenic and charming, with restored buildings and picture-perfect painted houses lining the riverfront. It’s also home to Milford Dog Park, a pawfect place to let your furry friend run free! There’s plenty of room in the grassy small and large dog areas for even the most energetic fur-ball to run around and tire themselves out in, and bags and water are provided. The dog park is also close to Goat Island, a nature preserve where you’ll find a wooded trail to sniff and explore. Once you two have worked up an appetite, you can chow down at Arena’s Milford. The sandwiches at this riverside gem are the stuff of local legend, and they cater to canines on their riverside terrace.

   #3 Trap Pond

   24

   Trap Pond State Park in Laurel is a real mutts-visit! The scenery here is simply stunning -- Trap Pond was recovered from natural swamp and features the northernmost cluster of natural bald cypress trees in the United States. The trails around the man-made lake meander through wooded wonderland and wetland landscapes, and they’re mostly flat, too, making this an accessible day out for young pups and older furry friends alike. Try to go in the early evening if you can -- the sight of the sun setting over the water is really something else. Remember to bring plenty of waste bags and water!

   #4 Killens Pond

   12

   Killens Pond State Park is far more peaceful than anything along the alarmingly named Murderkill River has a right to be (the name comes from the Dutch term for "Mother River", apparently). Located just outside Felton, the hardwood-lined trails here are fantastic for a sedate stroll or day hike with your doggo -- the main trail is only two and a half miles long. Killens Pond makes for a nice hike at any time of the year, but it’s extra special in spring, when the colorful wild azaleas along the route burst into bloom. Two-legged family members might also enjoy the disc golf course!

   #5 Cape Henlopen

   0

   Make no bones about it, if your pooch likes the beach, they’ll have a whale of a time at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes! Leashed doggos are allowed to walk and splash in the waves on the fishing beaches year round, but they’ll need to stay out of the swimming and sunbathing areas from the beginning of May until the end of September. Not to worry -- there’s plenty to do in this park even without the shoreline. You’ll find a couple of well-marked walking trails here, and cultured canines might get a kick out of a visit to the historic fort. Careful though -- there’s a carry-in carry-out policy for trash, so you’ll need to bring your waste with you.
