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, Kayaking, Biking, and Skiing.

The club schedules almost 400 events each year. Single day trips, trips of several days for back-packing, 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 about understanding these activities and getting involved. So take a look around, we hope you like what you see!

Important Upcoming Events

Whitewater, Recreational or Sea Kayak Training

If you have ever wanted to Kayak , but weren't sure where to start......you've come to the right place. Kayak training for the WTC starts with a mandatory safety session May 5th at Cab Calloway School For Performing Arts in Wilmington. See link below for complete training schedule.

Whether you prefer the thrill of whitewater kayaking or more relaxed recreational kayaking, our ACA cetified training will teach you all you need to know to get started. Once you graduate from our training, you will be able to join us on challenging whitewater, or gentle rivers.

Blue Ball Barn event - Sunday, April 27

The Wilmington Trail Club participated in the FREE "Go Green" event at the Blue Ball Barn on Sunday, April 27 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. Many thanks to Brenda, Diane, Brian, Chris, Janice, Bill, Lorena, Phyllis, Tom, and Joan for helping out at the Blue Ball Barn Go Green event today! We got a single and a family membership while at the event, and several others are planning on sending in their application and money later. 17 people and 1 dog participated in Phyllis' hike at 1:00. They were having so much fun that they stayed out for 1-1/2 hours instead of the planned 1 hour! Tom's hike had to be limited to an hour so they would be back before the Barn closed. Brenda did a wonderful job decorating the hiking portion of our booth, and the GORP went over very well. We had 2 videos, a slide show, and 2 kayaks to add to the excitement. A few trail club members stopped by to say hello and/or participate in one of the hikes.-Joan Burke, Wilmington Trail Club President

More information about Blue Ball Barn can be found on the DNREC Online website.

Directions can be found on Google Maps.
