Below is an email sent today from Bill Weller, Sussex Cyclists Advocacy Director:

Hi friends,

Just a quick email to share with you the plans of the Sussex County Land Trust for trails and trailheads in Sussex County as reported by the Cape Gazette earlier this week. Some quick highlights:

  • Development of the Hopkins Preserve, 52 acres on Sweetbriar Rd near US-9 that includes a multi-use trail along Sweetbriar Rd, interior trails around a pond, and access from the Georgetown-to-Lewes Trail;
  • Hudson Park, 30 acres at Cool Spring Road and US-9 where last year they opened a trailhead and parking lot with access to the Georgetown-to-Lewes Trail with more development planned;
  • Forest of Broadkill Preserve, 300 acres along Shingle Point Road and Gravel Hill Road, that will include a mountain bike trail among other trails;
  • Gills Neck Road Trail, that connects to the Junction & Breakwater Trail; and
  • Description of several other large properties being either developed or in the process of being purchased.

Happy & Safe Riding!
