Ellendale is a community where a peaceful pace of life blends beautifully with access to modern essentials and the beauty of nature. Positioned between the thriving towns of Milton and Georgetown, Ellendale offers small-town warmth amid Sussex County’s scenic countryside. Residents enjoy close proximity to outdoor adventures at Redden State Forest, which welcomes hikers, birders, and families exploring its tranquil trails and picnic spots.
