What makes exploring this area particularly distinctive is the deep history that is woven into the landscape. When you are cycling Wildlife Drive and the surrounding roadways, paddling the refuge water trails, and walking the trails, you are exploring the very same scenery that Harriet Tubman traversed in her efforts to lead enslaved African Americans to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

Believe it or not, there are eight (yes - 8!) National Wildlife Refuges on the Delmarva peninsula, with six of them open for visitation.
