| The Delaware State Motto is "Liberty and Independence" and this is taken to heart in Milton! Many of Milton's current residents moved to Milton to escape the hustle and bustle of busy, traffic jammed metropolitan areas like Washington D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA. They were independent and took the liberty of seeking a place to enjoy life in a more rural community that offered a broad spectrum of "places to play". Many born and bred "locals" have long appreciated the wonderful life and "playgrounds" in and around town.
While Milton offers fishing, canoeing, kayaking and boating in town on the Broadkill River, and on ponds known for their largemouth bass, monster bluegills, graceful blue herons and water mammals, the beaches of nearby Lewes and Rehoboth are just minutes away. For those who prefer to shop, tax-free outlet malls and boutiques are equally close by. For the antique lover, the shops of Milton and the surrounding area can be an absolute delight! Surf fishermen and women can enjoy their pastime at Broadkill Beach, just 10 minutes away (where weakfish, flounder and striped bass are caught with regularity), or on the Cape Henlopen State Park pier, as well as many other locations up and down the coast both north and south of Milton.
Country roads and scenic farmlands provide flatlands cycling for riders of any caliber, and birders and artists have also found Milton a particularly inviting and inspiring place to live and work. Those seeking "independence and liberty" are finding Milton the place to be. For more information, locations, or the equipment/supplies you may need to enjoy your favorite pastime, contact the Chamber of Commerce Office at 302-684-1101. |
