Delaware is a beautiful state, and in the fall, it lights up with color! One upstate hike that’s worth taking is right in Alapocas Run State Park, and you’ll truly enjoy walking along the creek, by the cliffs, and along the gorgeous, wooded trails.

The beautiful Alapocas Woods trail is just shy of a 2 mile loop, and it shows off some of the most unique sights in Delaware.
