Redden Forest picnic area closed due to illegal activity
Department of Agriculture | Forest Service | Sussex County | Date Posted: Tuesday, January 31, 2017
The Delaware Forest Service is closing a picnic pavilion and adjacent parking lot at Redden State Forest due to persistent criminal activity at the site, located on the Jester Tract at Camp Road and Redden Road north of Georgetown, Sussex County.

While agency officials have no specific timetable for reopening, they plan to use the closure period for renovations and security upgrades that could again allow for public access at the site.
