This is not a bike trail. This is a rutted service road for the canal. What a wasted day and a wasted ride.

"In short: Don't waste your time on this ""trail.""
Here's why: First, I'm not sure why they call this a trail. It's a road -- dirt and gravel, and well-used by vehicles. So unless you really enjoy that washboard effect, and getting lots of dirt in your mouth and eyes every time a vehicle passes, then you should pass on this trail.
If you're absolutely compelled to do it, you'll need some good advice on how to find it. Since this website -- in typical fashion -- has no directions, we relied on getting information from the locals when we reached Delaware City. Bad idea. Even the local police gave us wrong directions.
The trail is on the south side of canal, despite reports to the contrary. There's a similar road on the north side, but unless you can fly or float you won't be able to negotitate the various interruptions of the road.
If you've read this far, think twice! There are so many better trails than this one."
