Welcome to the official website of the Wilmington Trail Club!

 

The Wilmington Trail Club is an organization of people who live in and around the Wilmington, Delaware area that participate in a variety of outdoor activities such as Hiking, Paddling, Biking, and Skiing

The club schedules almost 400 events each year. Single day trips, trips of several days for backpacking, kayaking, canoeing, cross-country skiing and car and canoe camping. Most events are in Delaware, Pennsylvania or Maryland. Some events extend to other parts of the U.S. (Virginia, New York, New Hampshire) and the World. Trip leaders are club members who contribute their time, expertise, and effort.

On this website you'll find all kinds of information to help you understand these activities and get involved.  So take a look around, we hope you like what you see!

Hike Across Delaware: 2011 Report

 

On Sunday, November 6, the day could not have been more perfect. The sun was sparkling on the water of the C&D canal, the fall colors on the trees were at their peak, and the temperature was in the comfortable 60s. All participants enjoyed the 14.7 mile hike from the Maryland/Delaware line to the Delaware River in Delaware City. One hundred sixty ndividuals took part. This year’s paid participants were a 45% increase over last year.

            HAD will be held once a year, on the first Sunday in November. If you were not with us last year, be sure to cross one entire State with us on November 4, 2012. You will get a nice memento to commemorate your accomplishment. Go to Hiking>Hike Across Delaware for more information.

            Registration materials will be available in late summer.
