Assawoman Wildlife Area

Assawoman Wildlife Area, located in Frankford, DE, is a hidden gem along the Delaware-Maryland coast, encompassing a diverse landscape formed from nine farms acquired by the US Forest Service during the Great Depression. Since its establishment as a wildlife area in 1943, it has become a sanctuary for various species, including the protected Delmarva fox squirrel and migratory waterfowl.

The area is divided into three distinct parts: Miller Neck, Muddy Neck, and The Beach, totaling over 1,600 acres dedicated to the conservation of wildlife such as white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, and various amphibians and reptiles. This natural preserve not only serves as a habitat for wildlife but also offers opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration in Southern Delaware.
