The towpath passes many beautiful homes with nice gardens. In some parts of the country property owners resist having bicycle paths nearby thinking it will lower the value of their property; they should see the beautful homes this path goes near. Small business owners who object to nearby bike paths should take a look at some of the restaurants and other businesses that are near paths and see the number of cyclists stopping.

There are several interesting old towns such as Lumberville along the towpath between New Hope and Uhlerstown.
