If you plan to spend Thanksgiving on the Delmarva Peninsula, consider Opting Outside. It’s the ideal day to get outside. Most people are off from work, it’s a great way to spend extra time with family and burn off a few extra calories from your Thanksgiving meal, and the day doesn’t fall during a firearms season in either Delaware or Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

There’s now a sweeter way to explore trails on Maryland’s Eastern Shore - lace up your boots and start hiking the Maryland Ice Cream Trail. No, it’s not an actual trail paved with sprinkles or even a rocky road (see what we did there?😉). The Maryland Ice Cream Trail ties together 14 dairy farms from the mountains to the beach that produce their own farm-fresh, Maryland-made ice cream.

The Eastern Shore is the ideal spot to pedal some miles. It’s flat, trails are paved, and there are some gorgeous waterfront views.
