[edit] Route description

Delaware Route 300 heads east from the Maryland border on Sudlersville Road. Just across the state line, the route intersects the western terminus of Delaware Route 44 in Everetts Corner. It then heads east through farmland and intersects the northern terminus of Delaware Route 11. It then heads into the town of Kenton, where it is known as Main Street. It intersects Delaware Route 42 within Kenton. Past Kenton, DE 300 heads to the northeast on Wheatleys Pond Road. Midway between Kenton and Clayton, it features a brief concurrency with Delaware Route 15. DE 300 then heads north toward Clayton, passing to the south of the center of the town. Between Clayton and Smyrna, Delaware Route 6 merges onto DE 300, and the two routes head northeast through the northern part of Smyrna on Glenwood Avenue. The road ends at U.S. Route 13, where DE 300 finds its eastern terminus and DE 6 makes a right turn to overlap with US 13.
