#1 - We started at Clarence Davies Sports Complex BUT as of 5/29/26 the trail is closes due construction. So we accessed the trail from the Atlantic-Cape College Campus. Between the College and Cape May Zoo is the only shades portion. #2 - Once you get south and east of the Zoo you will be in full sunshine. We had a gorgeously cool day with full sunshine and were fine. A sunny Summer day…prepare to cook! #3 - peaceful ride and easy but not very scenic to look at
We love this trail. Almost 13 miles round trip.
Mostly bike lanes along busy roads. The city is beautiful but I was disappointed that I could not find a trail along the water and lake. I even asked a State Trooper and they said that they were not aware of an actual trail.
I went down to Dover and followed the Google map and the trails map and could not find an actual trail. It appears that the trail is nothing but bike lanes on main roads. I asked a state trooper where the Jones River Trail was where there were signs pointing, and she had no idea what the Jones river was. Was very disappointed looking for the trails, but Dover is a beautiful town, especially in the legislative district.
Maybe before the spring the phone company Will remove the lines & large tree branch that's stretching across the path...
Actually, it's pretty good in that it is paved, level and well-maintained. Not super scenery but pleasant enough. Worth riding if you're looking for an easy fifteen miles on a different trail.
Good for an easy paved level ride. I agree that "Pleasantville" is a misnomer. We cut it short when it got sketchy up there. Still, it's worth the ride.
Nice ride up to Lewis mid October. There is a new, large paved parking lot on Cool Spring Rd, just past the intersection at Rt 9. Need to cross Rt 9 to get to the trail, so caution is needed. Pretty ride through the tree shaded area, less so the closer you get to Lewis where it’s a lot busier.
We started this path from the Conowingo dam parking lot. We had to move through a group of turkey vultures to get to the trailhead. It was a beautiful fall day and the trail was clear of most debris. There are quarter mile markers. While we were out, several bikers were also on the trail. We took several side trails to the river to see other wildlife and to get some sun. The deep canopy of the trail blocks much of the sun making this an easy stroll in 80 degree weather.
Not 5 star from Lewes (Route 1) to Georgetown..
I thought the trail to Georgetown was fully completed… if it is… it’s NOT clearly marked. From Lewes the signs stop at some point and one is left to ride on Route 9 with major traffic (wide shoulder - but noisy)! Then Georgetown has NO signs letting you know where the trail is… eventually found Ingramtown Road to Airport Road. But when you get to Airport Road… there is no information where to go… so I headed to Route 9 and road the busy road back to Lewes. sign telling you to go right or left… uh
