The northeast side of Route 1 between Red Mill Pond and Milford has, for the most part, remained commercial-free over the past several decades. That bayshore corridor extends all the way to the state’s northern boundary in New Castle County. It includes large tracts of preserved prime farmland as well as federally managed and state-protected open space including Prime Hook and Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuges.
For drivers heading north and south on Route 1, those open vistas of extensive farmland, forests and marshes confirm one of the distinctive characteristics of Delaware: a state that for well over a century has consistently – through aggressive conservation and preservation action – shown how it values its natural environment.
