Clarksville
is a small community located in Uninc Sussex County, Delaware. It is the site of Holts Landing State Park, which is considered by many to be "an undiscovered gem" in Delaware's state park system. It contains 203 acres of bay shore beach, grassy fields and hardwood forests. The area that is now Holts Landing State Park has a long recorded history as a small family farm. The Holt family maintained the farm with a bay shore boat landing on the site until 1957, when the property was sold to the state highway department. Then, in 1965, the first parcel of land was transferred to the State Park Commission, forming Holts Landing State Park. Today, the park is home to the only pier on Delawares Inland Bay that was built specifically for crabbing. The pier is open daily from 8 a.m. until sunset. Other activities at Holts Landing State Park include picnicking, horseshoe pitching, bird watching, wildlife viewing, fishing, hiking and a children's playground is located near the picnic area. Many people enjoy Clarksville's peaceful surroundings by strolling the shoreline or a walk through the fields inside the park.

Clarksville Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southern Delaware's weather is greatly moderated by the Atlantic Ocean. The state is the second smallest in the U.S., only 96 miles long and 9 to 35 miles across. Most of it lies within the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the climate transitions between a humid subtropical climate and a continental climate. However, despite its small size, there are significant variations in temperature and amount of snowfall among the state's three counties. Sussex County, which includes the southeastern beach areas, has a somewhat milder climate and a longer growing season than the northern part of the state. Summers are warm with occasional thunderstorms and July is the hottest month of the year. Southeastern Delaware tends to have the highest temperatures and more precipitation than the center of the state, with an average precipitation of 46 inches. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, although August is usually the wettest month. The whole state has mild winters because the mountains of Pennsylvania protect it from cold northwest winds. January, on average, has the coldest temperatures.
