Abbott’s Mill Nature Center sits on a 376-acre piece of Milford Millponds Nature Preserve and features beautiful trails.  Hike through lush deciduous and Atlantic White Cedar woodlands. You can also explore our handicap-accessible boardwalk that follows a clear coastal plain stream to open meadows, picnic area, and a Garden for Wildlife idea garden. Our historic working gristmill and its water source, a 20-acre pond, lend a sense of the rich human history of the area. We are open to the general public and trails are pet-friendly. Quest kayaks are on hold this year. Discover wildlife up close in our Visitor Center with its live animal collection and taxidermy animal displays. Drinking fountain available. Parking is available by our Visitor Center.

Abbott’s Pond is a public access pond with a public boat ramp for personal motor boats and kayaks/canoes. Fishing is permitted and regulated by DE Fish and Wildlife, with a fishing permit required for everyone ages 16-64.
