In New Castle about 6.5 miles north of downtown Wilmington. The actual highpoint is in the middle of the interesection of Ebright Street and Ramblewood Drive. |
(a.ka. Tower Hill). The Highest Point in Delaware. It's the only state high point in the US located in the middle of an intersection and is the second lowest state high point after Florida. Technically, this is not a much of a hill or a climb—but it is included for those cyclists seeling to ride the highest paved roads in every state. |
