"Maybe that's enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom ... is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go."

I think a change in our vocabulary is needed. We no longer hike. We walk and stroll the beautiful flatness of Delaware #delagram #trappondstatepark #gratefulknees
Visiting the northern most stand of bald cypress trees in Delaware! What incredible ability to grow in water, their roots grow upwards to reach the surface to get plenty of air! Amazing beauties and a magical place including spotting a of bald eagles, cormorants, great blue herons, bard owls, raccoon skulls, deer, and loblolly pines. #baldcypress #trappondstatepark #trees #amazingtrees #treesarebeautiful #treesaresacred #sacredtree #roots #cypressknees #waterfowl #adventures #swamp #biodiversity #motherearth #earth #lovethetrees #bobtrail #travel
Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea): Every spring/summer since I've been kayaking at trappondstatepark, I look forward to getting my annual shots of the prothonotary warbler. I'm a fool for brightly colored birds and never get tired of photographing these warblers.

FAQ
Q: What are the park’s operating hours?
A: Open daily, from 8:00 AM to sunset (which varies every day)
Source
Q: Can we have fun even without bringing our own boats?
A: Certainly. Rowboats, pedal boats, canoes and kayaks can be rented for use within the park during the summer season, and park interpreters host narrated pontoon boat tours on summer weekends and holidays. One of the streams that flows into Trap Pond has been marked as a wilderness canoe trail
Source
Q: Boating’s great but what about hiking?
A: Hike or bike the 4.6-mile Bob Trail through the park. The trail is an excellent place for birdwatching, and you’ll enjoy pondside views of the cypress swamp.
Source
Q: Anything aside from the usual stuff?
A: Ever been on a pontoon boat? No? Join a park staff member and board a pontoon boat to travel across the pond and into the cypress swamp.
Source
Q: Hey, how come it looks different from when I was here the last time?
A: Trap Pond State Park is different every season! Witness the beauty of the pond year-round as you enjoy fall foliage, fresh winter snowfall, spring frog calls or summer nesting songbirds.
