Best Hikes in Delaware

Delaware's four ranked summits are about as modest as a state list gets, and they split into two very different places. Three sit in the Piedmont of the state's northern tip, within about 13 miles of each other: Ebright Azimuth, at 449 feet in this database (commonly cited as 448), Delaware's official state high point and one of the lowest in the country, with Horseshoe Hill (331 feet) and Drummond Hill (289 feet) only about 8 and 13 miles from it. The fourth, Bottom Hills, is the opposite extreme — a 3-foot rise on the low ground near Delaware's Atlantic coast, some 87 miles south of Ebright Azimuth, which makes the whole list span under 450 feet of elevation from bottom to top. Ebright Azimuth's 1.0-mile out-and-back is the shortest hike in the group; Drummond Hill's 3.2-mile route is the longest, so none of these is more than a short walk. 2 more Delaware summits are already queued in the database — these 4 are simply the ones with a confirmed route and elevation profile today.
