The Mispillion River is a river flowing to Delaware Bay in southern Delaware in the United States. It is approximately 15 miles (24 km) long and drains an area of 76 square miles (197 km²) on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It rises in northern Sussex County, approximately 3 miles (5 km) southwest of Milford, and flows generally east-northeastwardly, defining the boundary between Sussex and Kent counties; it passes through the center of Milford on its course to its mouth at Delaware Bay, 16 miles (26 km) northwest of Cape Henlopen. The lower 12 miles (19 km) of the river are considered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be navigable. A boardwalk known as the Mispillion Riverwalk follows the river as in Milford. As of 2003, an effort was underway to preserve a greenway along the river upstream and downstream of Milford. Numerous fresh water and saltwater sporting activities are available here, including the annual World Champion Weakfish Tournament.
