Delaware Canal State Park
The 60-mile long Delaware Canal towpath runs
from Easton to Bristol and is a National Heritage
Hiking Trail. Once used by mule teams pulling
cargo-laden boats along the canal, the towpath
is used today by walkers, joggers, cyclists,
cross-country skiers and bird watchers. For
30 miles, the Delaware Canal towpath parallels
New Jersey's D&R Canal towpath, separated
only by the Delaware River. Six bridges link
the two trails.
The Delaware Canal path consists of crushed,
packed stone and is better maintained then
the NJ trail. The trail literally cuts through
private property and at times we can find ourselves in homeowners’ backyard
only a few feet from their house. For this
reason, it's recommend that you do not disturb
the
residents or cut through their yard to get
to the street. A mountain bike with universal
tires is recommended
