The only way to get to Fort Delaware State Park to visit the historic fort on Pea Patch Island is via ferry. You can catch the ferry from either Delaware City in Delaware, or Fort Mott State Park in New Jersey. The ferry runs every 30 minutes during the summer season, and although you can purchase tickets day of, reserving them in advance is highly recommended. You can do so at this site: delawarestateparks.reserveamerica.com/tourParkDetail.do?contractCode=DE&parkId=360113 There is no food on the island so visitors are encouraged to bring picnic lunches and snacks. There are also no cars on the island, so you should wear good walking shoes and bring layers and any other items you might need for a day out on the island.
