The Leipsic River is a 16.7-mile-long (26.9 km) river in central Delaware in the United States.
It rises in northern Kent County, approximately 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Dover. It flows generally east, past Leipsic and entering Delaware Bay approximately 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Dover. The mouth of river on Delaware Bay is surrounded by extensive wetlands that are protected as part of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
