If you visit Lewes or Rehoboth Beach plan to take your bike and check out these trails. The J&B combined with Cape Henlopen SP is my favorite, be sure to ride it in both directions as well. This year I added the Georgetown section (it's a fair distance out and back from Lewes, ends up somewhere near Rt. 9 and Cool Spring Rd). The very straight, very flat paved Georgetown/Lewes Trail was busy close to Lewes on a warm Saturday in May, I expect summers are even more crowded. There are more road crossings than I like but cars were courteous. The J&B twists through both Lewes and Rehoboth with everything from paved residential areas to gravel paths through wooded and open field sections in between. The signage is adequate but it is easy to get misdirected in Rehoboth. If you make your way through Rehoboth on whatever route you choose, continue to the southern entrance of Cape Henlopen. You can't miss the Gordon Pond Trail which takes you through the park and back to Lewes. Cape Henlopen trails are well marked, there are multiple other trails within the park also. There are many places to stop and rest and bathrooms along all 3 sections.

We loved this trail. We went from Cape Henlopen to Rehoboth , then took this trail back to the campground. It was beautiful!!
Nice trail. Parking at either end of the trail. 1 port-a-potty at the trailheads. All asphalt & level just watch for upheavals in the trail in a couple of different places.
An amazing free resource for the lower eastern shore. Flat sand trail mostly covered with pine needles. I would not recommend this trail if your tires are less than 50mm (2 inch) wide. Minimal but effective main trail markings. Multiple unmarked side trails. Adequate parking. Pack a lunch and make a day of it. This is a state forest not a park, there are port-a-john's near the parking area.
We live in Milton and have visited the trail several times. Each time I think how awesome it would be if it connected to the larger trail system leading into Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Rehoboth. On occasion, we will get into the car and drive to one of those trailheads. The Milton rail trail is beautiful, but maybe be a little shortsighted for those wanting more of a workout/challenge/enjoyment.
This is a well maintained trail, flat, varied scenery with a great long boardwalk/ bridge. Nice stops in a few sites with some history. Beach view / marsh / birds. Well traveled with bikers & walkers on a Sunday fall afternoon. 6.4 miles round trip with a strong wind on the way back had me sweating.
We bicycled the Cold Spring Bike Path, the Middle Township Bike Path and the Dennis Township Bike Path. They are fully connected, paved and straight. It's like a highway from north to south. It follows the power lines and is mostly sunny. There's very little to see along the way. It's great for exercise - bicycling, jogging, inline skating, pushing a stroller. The best part - no cars!!
This trail goes through forest, field, and some pretty neighborhoods. Excellent for Pokemon players, dog walkers, and meanderers.
Part of the Cape Henlopen State Park trail network, the Seaside Nature Trail branches off the Cape Henlopen State Park Bike Loop at the nature center and gives visitors the opportunity to explore the pine barrens, scrublands and a portion of beach on the Delaware Bay on the park's north side. Although the sandy surface of the trail is loose in some sections and poorly suited to cycling, it offers a peaceful and picturesque hiking experience. Highlights include the entrance to a World War II-era bunker, whose overgrown and decaying gate resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, the panoramic views along the Delaware Bay and the crab statues in front of the nature center. Trail users should also check out the nature center itself to learn more about the wildlife they may encounter and the state park's fishing pier and bait & tackle shop are just a short walk down the beach at Delaware Bay.
Firm fine gravel or dirt through the woods around the pond. A small section near the dam was paved. The south side is about 8 feet wide with gradual curves. The north side is about four feet wide and winds through the trees with a couple of sharp turns. We went counterclockwise out of the campground and found that to be downhill all the way around, or felt that way. Really no hills, just a slight up on the wider path for a short distance. We had two inch tires which were fine. One inch tires would probably be fine too. It was an enjoyable ride through the woods. Stop at the lovely church restored church
