  Dòg policy suck

  If you are here (and I'm sitting at camp in my tent with my dog), you pretty much cant take take the dog much of anywhere and swim and have a normal beach day. The poster that said its deceptive is correct. You can take the dog on designated parts of the beach, but you cant swim. Or u have to be there fishing. Actively fishing. You cant take them to all these things to do. Not allowed on trails. Not allowed , not allowed not allowed....you can sit at your site with your dog. And the are strict with these rules.

  Great for day trips!

  We took Riley on her first day trip and she did fantastic! Great space to run around with her and dip her paws in the water. People are so friendly which allows for a relaxing environment. Dogs are permitted on the selected beach year round so I see many trips in the future!

  Great for spring camping and hiking with dogs!

  We actually camped at the State Park in late April with our dog for a week. Great, quiet time to come. Campground is clean and well-maintained and the people were awesome. Lots of dog-friendly places to eat out too. Free bike rentals at Nature Center. Lots of good hiking trails by cool forts. We will try to return!

  Beautiful Park!

  Cape Henlopen is a beautiful park with a lot of things to do. Our dog had a great time at the beach digging in the sand and playing in the water. There were a few other well-behaved dogs there on leashes. Like many state parks, there is a fee to enter and you do have to carry your trash out.

We dug up 7 pictures of dogs at Cape Henlopen State Park.
