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!

State Park Fees

Many of our events occur in nearby state parks, but there can be entry fees. Most of us find it cost effective to purchase a yearly or lifetime pass, if available. Click on this link to view 2013 fee schedules.

The first male member finisher was George Wagner, in 8 hours 21 minutes, he wins the DON BROWN WALKING TROPHY; the first female member finishers were Jenny Goodall and Linda Jones in 9 hours 42 minutes, they share the WOMENS’ WALKING TROPHY

Over 25 volunteers from the Club supported the event. Their time and efforts are greatly appreciated. The End-to-End would not happen without them.

Thanks to all participants and volunteers.... see you next year!
