Why We Live Here . . . Indian River Bay

Why We Live Here . . . Indian River Bay

The Indian River Bay is a body of water in Sussex County, Delaware that is part of Delaware’s inland bay system, along with Little Assawoman Bay and Rehoboth Bay. Fed by the Indian River at its western end, the bay is connected to the Atlantic Ocean to the east via the Indian River Inlet.  The Indian River Bay is unique among Delaware’s inland bays in that it is a drowned river valley, whereas Delaware’s other bays are estuaries built on sand bars.

It is bordered by several protected environmental areas, including the Delaware Seashore State Park, Holts Landing State Park, and the Assawoman Wildlife Area.  The Delaware Seashore State Park, located by Dewey Beach was created in 1965 and covers 2,825 acres.  It is a major attraction for millions of visitors who come to the Delaware Beaches for water-related activities.
