Confirmed from Delaware Outdoor Trail SC875's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Trail and beachside park for fishing and relaxing, plus views of sunrises and sunsets.
What runners say about Delaware Outdoor Trail SC875
“Great for families with calm surf, wide clean beaches and lots of sun.”
“Great shoreline location for scenic dawn or dusk photographs.”
“Or, you can slip off your shoes, take a peaceful stroll along the beach.”
Wonderful little walks to head to the beach. If you drive to the beach the parking is tight as the lot is small. At beach there is no bath house only portable bathrooms. Not really a problem if you are local.
Nice place to visit! Went on nature walk with a gentleman from the nature reserve.
