Combines several bikes trails: Ben Cardin Trail in Maryland, Michael Castle Trail in Delaware & the Branch Canal Trail in Delaware City.
The ride is 30 miles roundtrip. You can start on either end, or there are several trailheads with parking and restrooms along the way.
The asphalt-paved trail along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is flat aside from a few loops up through woods to avoid water inlets and go around a marina in one case. Those hills are steep, but short, and they have switch-backs to make it a bit easier.
The trails have been reconfigured a couple times and moved to higher elevation, so you'll see gravel paths continuing along the water. Those sections are old routes and some parts have washed out. Stay on the asphalt.
Older sections of the trail are narrow, but they have a line down the middle. However, you'll find many cyclists like to ride side-by-side on both sides of the line.
The ride is bookended by cool, historic towns where you can get a bite to eat and drinks. In the middle is a upscale pub with outside dining and a bike rack.
