Everyone knows Delaware is a small state, but did you also realize that Delaware is a flat state? Despite plenty of shoddy online publishers trying to insist that the Delaware Water Gap can be found in, well, Delaware, if you’ve driven through the state even once, chances are you know there’s no Mount Tammany or Mount Minis or Mount… anything… to be found here. Delaware does have a designated high point, though, at the Ebright Azimuth. What will you uncover when travel all this way to stand tall at the highest point in Delaware? As the five-star review from Google Local Guide Nate Wooding eloquently states, “I mean, if you’re coming here you probably already know what you’re getting into.”

The First State has the lowest mean elevation of any state, but we do have a high point that might be worth visiting, if you've got time to kill and want to have something to talk about at your next lunch with friends.

The Ebright Azimuth is located on the Pennsylvania and Delaware border, on the aptly named Azimuth Road in Greenville. The easy to find blue marker notes that this spot is the highest point in the state, sitting 448 feet above sea level.

While that may not seem like much, the Brandywine Valley asks that I point out Florida's high point is only 345 feet above sea level, so, take that.

From the highest point in Delaware, you can see a field, and a radio tower, and some houses.
Oh... by the way, this remarkable spot may not actually even be the highest point in Delaware.

Recent survey data from the Delaware Geographical Society has pinpointed a spot around the corner from the Azimuth, in a mobile home park, that's at least two feet higher, sitting at just over 450 feet.

If that's not the most Delaware thing you've read today, well, there's not much more to say.
