Great Marsh Preserve
Wooded marsh trails and a small sandy edge on the Indian River
About this park
A small Lewes nature preserve with rustic wooded trails that drop down to the Indian River, with a short sandy beach and shallow water at the end. Sunsets here are a draw for locals; the trails are quiet enough that a leashed walk rarely runs into other groups. Easy access from Pilottown Road for a quick visit.

Best for
Before you go
There are no restrooms or trash cans on site, so plan accordingly and pack out what you bring in. Trails can stay soft after rain; closed-toe shoes work better than sandals on the path to the water.
