Loop Trails for Hikers and Bikers
Please note, due to construction projects, some of the Loop Trails are not available at this time.
There are four open options for riders and hikers to use as of March 28, 2025.
- Centre Bridge to Lumberville and back on the New Jersey side (crossing over the footbridge) into Stockton
- New Hope to Centre Bridge and back on the New Jersey side into Lambertville
- Lower Makefield to Washington Crossing South (Rt. 532) and back on the New Jersey side into Ewing
- Morrisville to Lower Makefield and back on the New Jersey side into Trenton
For 30 miles the towpath trails of Pennsylvania’s Delaware Canal State Park and New Jersey’s Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park parallel the Delaware River. This unusual proximity – combined with seven River bridges that connect the two canals – offers especially easy and interesting trips.
- Hike or bike one loop – or combine loops
- Explore river towns
- Enjoy the outdoors
- Take in the River views
- Immerse yourself in history
- Have fun!
