delaware canal

A gorgeous canal and walkway on the Nj side from lambertville down to titusville/washington crossing park. The area is so gorgeous and serene and worth a bike ride or stroll.

A very pleasant and safe place to walk or ride a bike. In most places there is a view of the river although the views are very different if you go North or South of Lambertville. Path is well-cared for. One of the highlights is walking out on the wing dam, just South of town.

Excellent trail for biking, running,or hiking, Mostly smooth hard-pack dirt surface with a few somewhat bumpy sections. Once you get more than half a mile away from the towns or parking lots along it you do not pass many people. Plenty of birds and wildlife to be seen along the way. Using the bridges to cross the river to NJ you can use the D & R Canal towpath to create loops of 15 or more miles.There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby along the canal. Free parking can be found at Washington's Crossing State Park, the I-95 Park and Ride, and numerous pull offs along Rt 32. The Park Service has a parking lot and restrooms approximately 1.5 miles north of Center Bridge.

biking, walking, trail running - Del Canal has it all on a great 60 mile path along the Delaware River towns. Nature, birds, sights - great place to enjoy.

The tow path along the Delaware Canal is a nice place to take a leisurely walk and see wildlife. Today, my husband & I took about a six mile walk from Washington Crossing toward New Hope. We saw a number of birds including King Fishers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Mallard Ducks, Blue Herons. We also stopped for a minute and realized we were being watched by four young deer from across the canal. A number of year's ago we visited the area during winter and cross country skied the towpath. It can be enjoyed in any season. Next Spring, we may look into returning to do some kayaking along the canal.

We visited New Hope in mid-November as my husband was participating at the Bucks County marathon. The course was all along the tow path that borders the Delaware Canal on the PA side. At this time of the year it was very scenic with the Fall colors. The path is great for walking, biking, running, what have you! Highly recommend a trip to the area to experience the outdoors through this canal and its tow path, which runs for about 30 miles in distance from one end to the other.

Where ever we go on the canal we are happy. Walking or riding bikes is the perfect way to spend the day.

Pros- scenic trail Cons- not much wildlife, they should talk to an environmental biologist about introducing native fish and such. Overall worth a walk.

Delaware canal makes Bucks County one of the nicest area to live. Residents walk and ride bikes in a beautiful setting that is safe and clean. You can walk for miles and end up at a local antique flea market or continue to New Hope for lunch with a river view or sit at an outdoor restaurant for some very interesting people watching.

I live near the canal and use it to get around the crowds on main street on the weekends but during the week I use it for exercise. It is a 2 mile walk to the Thomas Neely house down river and a 4 mile walk to Center Bridge and Stockton NJ up river. It is scenic and quiet but there is some bike traffic and as long as they let you know their going to pass you don't get spooked. It is very flat and that makes the walking easy. There is also the Toll House at the lock in New Hope and it is a nice piece of history to learn about the canal and the lock keeper and his family. The canal has water in it but not much and it gets a little green in spots but it is being worked on and maybe one day there will be canal barges and mules again!

If you want to stretch your legs and get some fresh air, it's a nice and easy walk. Bring your bikes and it's an easy ride too. Go as far as you like. It's lovely to have a place to walk outside the hustle and bustle of the crowded town.

We biked from New Hope along the canal north and south and crossed over to the Jersey side to return. The PA side is much more scenic but in a sadder state of repair and without the basic amenities that we have come to expect (and much more prevalent on the NJ side) like mile markers, benches, drinking water. Not even lock numbers.

I come here a lot with my family and my dog. This canal is great. There is so much wildlife! I've seen beavers, turtles, deer, blue herons, a raccoon and many different kinds of birds. It is a great place to bird watch or to walk, ride a bike, or jog. I love it down here and I go at least once a week in the summer.
