  From Middletown, head to the nearest bus stop where you can catch the DART First State bus service. Look for Route 40, which connects Middletown to Wilmington. Board the bus and stay on for approximately 30-40 minutes until you reach the Wilmington Transit Center. Once you arrive at the Wilmington Transit Center, transfer to Route 13 or Route 33, both of which will take you closer to Wilmington State Parks. Make sure to ask the bus driver for the nearest stop to Wilmington State Parks.

• Bicycle

  If you're inclined to bike, start from the center of Middletown and head northwest on Main Street. Follow Main Street until it merges into Route 299. Continue on Route 299 until you reach the intersection with Route 1. Take a left onto Route 1 and follow the bike lanes towards Wilmington. Approximately 10 miles later, turn right onto St. Rocco Way. Wilmington State Parks will be on your left. Remember to wear a helmet and follow all traffic laws.

• Walking

  If you're up for a long walk, start from the center of Middletown and head towards Route 299. Follow Route 299 to the intersection with Route 1, then carefully cross the highway towards St. Rocco Way.
