The View from the Tower – A Day at Cape Henlopen State Park

Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, DE has everything–several beaches, two lighthouses, a fishing pier, bird watching, nature museum, Fort Miles WWII Army base complete with a 75′ tall fire control tower open to the public, and four other towers to see. The views are astounding from the top of the Tower 7 and from several other points in the park as the pictures below prove.
