Bellevue State Park
State Park Information
State Park Overview
Bellevue Hall mansion commands a grand view of this historic estate and
its present form reflects alterations made by William H. du Pont, Jr. Mr. du Pont surrounded his home with the finest facilities tennis courts, equestrian stables, gardens and
a picturesque pond -mid woodlands and fields overlooking the Delaware River. Originally acquired by the State of Delaware in 1976, the park now covers 328 acres.
The Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation has retained the historic charm of Bellevue while providing many opportunities for recreation. Walking and jogging are popular activities at any time of the year. A 12/8 mile fitness track circles a catch-and-release fishing pond stocked with bass, catfish and
sunfish, while the nearby exercise trail offers a refreshing workout.
Hiking trails allow you to explore other parts of the estate. If you prefer cycling, both paved and unpaved paths lead you on a leisurely tour.
