Delaware Bayshore Byway (DE-9)

Delaware

A roughly 50-mile National Scenic Byway following DE-9 from the New Castle and Delaware City area south to Dover and Bowers Beach, threading tidal marshland and passing Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. It is flat bayshore cruising — Delaware has no mountain or canyon roads — best enjoyed for the birdlife and emptiness rather than corners.

Why ride Delaware?

Switchback scores every road in Delaware by corner density and elevation, not by how fast it gets you somewhere. The result is a shortlist worth the detour — Delaware Bayshore Byway (DE-9) among them — each mapped mile by mile with the fuel stops, overlooks, and bailouts that actually matter on two wheels.

Plan before you ride

Mountain and high-desert routes in Delaware can be seasonal — verify pass and weather conditions before you commit, top off fuel before long service gaps, and check the mile-by-mile breakdown on each road's page for the named corners, stops, and turnarounds. Pro riders get offline maps for the stretches where cell coverage drops out.

// Frequently asked
