Route description
DE 44 heads to the southeast from DE 300 at Everetts Corner on two-lane undivided Everetts Corner Road. The road passes through a mix of woodland and farmland before reaching the town of Hartly. In Hartly, the route intersects DE 11, where it becomes Main Street, and passes by homes along with some commercial establishments, crossing an abandoned railroad line. The road then heads to the east out of Hartly as Hartly Road, passing through more rural areas. DE 44 continues to its eastern terminus at DE 8 in the community of Pearsons Corner.[1][2]
