White Clay Creek State Park is a Delaware state park along White Clay Creek on 3,559 acres (1,440 ha) in New Castle County, near Newark, Delaware in the United States. North of the park is Pennsylvania's White Clay Creek Preserve, and the two were originally operated as bi-state parks to jointly protect the creek, but now they operate separately. The White Clay Creek is federally protected as part of the National Park Service's National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. White Clay Creek State Park offers 41 miles (66 km) of nature and fitness trails which are open to hiking and mountain biking. The park also preserves a number of historic structures and operates a nature center.
