Update: Gordons Pond boardwalk repairs delayed until Feb. 10-11

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has rescheduled repairs to the Gordons Pond elevated boardwalk at Cape Henlopen State Park for Monday, Feb. 10 and Tuesday, Feb. 11, due to inclement weather. Access to the boardwalk where it meets the trail on the north and south points will also be closed during this time. The repairs were initially slated to take place Feb. 5 and 6.

DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation plans to repair the railing where it has pulled away from the rest of the boardwalk. To repair the railing, bolts must be driven through supports under the bridge, which requires decking to be removed.

All other Cape Henlopen State Park trails will remain open during the repairs. For a map of the park’s trails, including the Gordons Pond Trail, stop by the park office or go to https://destateparks.com/Beaches/CapeHenlopen.
