Description
This 80-acre property in Sussex County, Delaware offers a unique opportunity for those interested in waterfowl hunting and wetland habitat management. Located along the Mispillion River, the tract is accessible only by boat, with the nearest access point being the Cedar Creek boat ramp. From there, it is a short ride across sheltered waters to reach the property.
The land is comprised primarily of tidal wetlands, which provide valuable habitat for migratory bird species and other wildlife native to the Delaware Bay region. Within the tract are two small ditches that contribute to natural water flow and provide additional cover for waterfowl. The shoreline frontage along the Mispillion River further enhances the property’s ecological and recreational value, as it connects directly to an important waterway that flows eastward into the Delaware Bay.
The surrounding landscape is largely dedicated to waterfowl habitat and hunting management. Neighboring properties are managed with a focus on waterfowl resources, and there is also significant public land in the vicinity, offering additional outdoor recreation opportunities. The area has a long tradition of waterfowl hunting, as Delaware’s coastal wetlands are part of the Atlantic Flyway, an important migration corridor for ducks and geese.
For those seeking recreational uses, the property provides an environment for seasonal waterfowl hunting, boating, and exploring tidal wetlands. The location also places owners within a short boat ride of the Delaware Bay, opening the possibility of additional fishing and water-based activities. While the property does not have road access, its water-only approach creates a secluded setting and ensures limited disturbance from vehicle traffic.
Sussex County, known for its mix of agricultural and coastal resources, provides relatively easy travel to the property via nearby towns. Milford is approximately 7 miles away by road from the Cedar Creek launch. Dover, the state capital, is about 20 miles northwest, and the coastal town of Lewes lies roughly 25 miles south. These nearby communities offer services, supplies, and accommodations for extended trips to the property.
Given its wetlands composition, the property is not suited for residential or commercial development. Instead, it is best viewed as a specialized recreational holding for those with an interest in hunting, conservation, or water-based access to the Delaware Bay. Its natural features and positioning along the river contribute to its role within the larger coastal ecosystem of the state.
With its combination of acreage, tidal wetlands, river frontage, and access to managed waterfowl habitat, this tract provides an opportunity to hold a recreational property within a well-known hunting and wildlife region.
