About White Clay Creek State Park

1968 marked the start of protection for land along White Clay Creek, a waterway that carries federal designation under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The park sits alongside Pennsylvania's White Clay Creek Preserve, and the two were originally managed as bi-state parks working together to safeguard the creek. This cross-border arrangement means the protected land and water extend beyond Delaware's borders into a connected system.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
