Really nice shorter, curvy trail mostly through the pines. Lot of side connectors, you can stretch it a bit longer with those and the American Holly Trail.
This is a great trail, but definitely wanna start at the waypoint just outside Harbeson. Nice parking lot across from trail start. When you end in Lewes, you can turn right to catch the Breakwater Trail & add some mileage. Not sure when the Georgetown connection will be done, but don’t waste your time looking for it unless you wanna ride the busy main road to Harbeson & start the trail.
#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
Easy to find once you arrive near the schools. It's a wonderful connector path for local residents to ride to the beautiful Smyrna school campus.
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.
Not 5 star from Lewes (Route 1) to Georgetown..
