Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, DE is worth a visit. There are cycling trails inside the park, and the military history and displays, including artillery, are cool. The place used to be a base that was established to protect the bay and river from Nazi invasion. No shots were ever fired in defense, but after Germany surrendered a sub did surrender there. You can still go up to the top of at least one watch tower. You can also ride to Rehoboth virtually all on trails and bike lanes.
