Canal Trails of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania

Bicycle trips along the Delaware Canal and Delaware and Raritan Canal are great for older cyclists like we are or for people wanting leisurely rides with a lot to see. There are about 95 miles of trails on canal towpaths of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park in New Jersey and the Delaware Canal State Park in Pennsylvania. The Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park is divided into two sections. The main canal between Trenton and New Brunswick and the Feeder Canal (which supplied the water to the main canal) along the Delaware River between Trenton and Frenchtown. The Delaware Canal State Park extends between Easton, PA and Bristol, PA.
