About Broad Creek Bike & Brew

 

The Broad Creek Bike and Brew Tour, featuring local Microbreweries, live music, and BBQ Chicken is sponsored by the Western Sussex Chamber of Commerce located in historic Laurel Delaware.

 


We welcome you to our 9th annual bike tour and to our beautiful community. 


On your quiet adventure you will wind through scenic byways and along historic waterways as you explore what makes our community so unique.  We’ve tied in some of the best historic attractions such as The Laurel Heritage Museum, The Cook House, Historic Bethel, Bethel Museum, and Old Christ Church to name a few.  Along the way enjoy important waterways that make up a portion of the Chesapeake Watershed , the Nanticoke River Trail, Mason Dixon In Delmar,  and The Sussex County Historic and Scenic Byway. Of course, the ride would not be complete without a stop at our true gem – Trap Pond State Park.

You will be wild about us! Wilderness Trails, Wildlife, and quiet adventure awaits!
