Delaware is a pretty state filled with interesting towns and cities, but there is another side to Delaware its residents don’t explore as much: the seaside marshes in the state! Luckily, there is a trail that will allow you to explore one of the prettiest ecological preserves in the state: The James Farm Ecological Preserve Trail. This loop trail is so fun and suitable for all members of the family, introducing you to a different side of Delaware.
