End of Cape Henlopen Fishing Pier to Remain Closed for Structural Repairs

Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control | Division of Parks and Recreation | News | Sussex County | Date Posted: Wednesday, June 12, 2024

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced today that the last 145 feet of the 1,300-foot Cape Henlopen State Park fishing pier will remain closed until structural repairs can be made. Additionally, the public will not be able to access certain closed-off sections along the side of the pier and two areas marked as “no standing zone.” The DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation decided to close this portion of the World War II-era pier in November 2023, during an annual engineering review. Though the DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation has completed repair projects to the CHSP pier over the last 15 years, the pier has lasted well beyond its life expectancy.

Motorcyclists, make yourselves visible by always using your headlights. Wear protective clothing and dress for a crash, not just the ride, and never travel in a vehicle’s blindsight.
