The first piece of land was purchased for this wildlife area in 1957. Little Creek Wildlife Area now consists of over 4,500 acres. The wildlife area is broken up into two sections, the smaller of which adjoins Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. It is hoped that future land acquisitions will connect these sections, creating the longest continuous protected area on Delaware’s coast.

Little Creek Wildlife Area is managed primarily for waterfowl. Most of the property is available for hunting. There are 15 waterfowl blinds, three photographic blinds, an observation tower, a boardwalk, and two gravel boat ramps. Bank fishing and crabbing are also popular here.
