If you are up for a day trip, the town of Lewes is about 15 or 20 minutes north and west of the park. Lewes is a beautiful older town with GREAT seafood restaurants. One of my favorite places to eat there is Touch of Italy. It is an authentic Italian deli/pizza restaurant. AMAZING chicken parm sandwich...!!!
Anyway... if you drive out past Lewes, past the Lewes/Cape May Ferry you get to Cape Henlopen State Park. There is a dry campground there, but the state park is beautiful. Lots of hiker/biker trails and some WW2 history that I love. They have a restored WW2 observation tower that you can actually climb up and look out and see around. They have the restored army base there as well as decommissioned artillery guns there. There are some beautiful beaches and great trails as well. I love the park, we try to bring our bikes up there and ride for at least a day. That is a paid entry park though.
If you approach from the northern end of Rehoboth you can walk or ride a bike on the trails. I've never ridden all the way from Rehoboth to the bay though... but I'm sure it can be done.
Also research this http://www.traillink.com/city/bethany-beach-de-trails.aspx. There is a bike trail just south of the rv park that lets you ride parallel to Rt 1, but in the woods. There are lots of riding paths down there and they are all fun rides!
