Sent review previously in ordinary e-mail because this link was not working. We rode from small parking area just across road from trailhead. Date was approx 8/04/09. Trail surface was excellent over the seven plus miles to ranger's station. There was water available near the trailhead, and also at the station. Scenery was disappointing, mostly peoples backyards, and high foliage five to ten feet from edge of trail. There were quite a few road crossings, but all except two were not busy with traffic. The rangers advised us that we had seen the best part of the trail, and since the temperature was about 90 and the humidity almost the same, we returned to our car, and rode to the trail end opposite the Naval Academy. That view was impressive, but we didn't see a trail leading into the small park under the bridge. We presumed that the trail was the shoulder of the roadway, and since it was now rush hour, vehicular traffic was heavy in all directions. Must comment that one small community about a mile south of ranger station has erected several benches for trail users. We presume that food and drink is available nearby. Good hearted people must live there.

The Delaware Department of Transportation announced that the Junction and Breakwater Trail will be extended to Gills Neck Rd. in Lewes by the end of May 2007. This will finally provide a bypass of busy Route 1.
