Cross Island Trail

Cross Island extended

November, 2024 by smerchant1120

I frequently ride the Cross Island Trail. You can extend your ride starting at the Royal Farms. Continue on Sadler Rd when it ends make a left on Chester River Beach Rd then right on VFW Ave. At the Quality Inn make a left onto Winchester Creek Rd. Then right onto Hissey Rd and then left back onto Winchester Creek Road. Stop at Nesbit Rd. The roads are not busy and will add 4 more miles to your round trip.

Middle Township Bike Path

Not much to see but the Zoo was a bonus

October, 2024 by adab

This trail is well maintained & marked but there isn’t much to see as it follows the power lines through no man’s land. However!, the Cape May Zoo was really nice & free!

Gordons Pond Trail

Beautiful & just enough

October, 2024 by adab

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.

Cross Island Trail

Walking out from the Kent Island Hyatt Hotel not very nice

October, 2024 by rebeccabeynon

We were on Kent Island for a wedding, and we took a stroll from the Hyatt Hotel in the direction away from the Bay Bridge. The trail runs alongside the busy road for a mile or so, then there’s a short stretch in a pleasant piney woods, and then back to the busy road. The trail is well maintained and the surface is good, and the part in the woods was pretty nice. But for most of our 3.5 mile walk (total, there and back) it was like walking beside a busy road. If I did this again, I’d try to access the trail at a place where you would have a nicer experience.

Dennis Township Bike Path

Seaville to Cape May

September, 2024 by cbrassington18

Parked at the Dennis Township Bike path train head. The parking area and trail were easy to find. However, there were only two marking spots in the small lot which could be an issue on busier weekends. Rode the trail to route 9 in Cape May before taking route 9 to the Lincoln Blvd beach entrance. The trail has quite a few road crossings on busy roads that will drop your average pace a fair bit. The trail is all paved and also includes mile markers at every .1 miles which is a very nice feature. Overall, a great trail to ride.

Cold Spring Bike Path

Straight paved trail. Connects to two other trails.

September, 2024 by nnesky

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!!

Middle Township Bike Path

nice surprise.

August, 2024 by fc9vjs5dw4

I was happy to ride this path because it was asphalt. Just wow! The path is so well maintained. The brush is kept trimmed and about 3 ft back from the wide paved path. The mile markers are painted every 10th on the ground. This was such a pleasant ride!!!!

Milton Rail-Trail

lovely semi-forested, pathed walk

July, 2024 by christine.m.layton

This trail goes through forest, field, and some pretty neighborhoods. Excellent for Pokemon players, dog walkers, and meanderers.

Seaside Nature Trail

Sandy Path Through The Coastal Forest

July, 2024 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

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.

Easton Rail-Trail

Very lovely in-town trail!

July, 2024 by tpslucks

While the trail in town is very lovely, relatively short, it’s very clean and enough meandering through green space, I really enjoy the less known western spur more. That trail spur on the opposite side of Easton Parkway is really awesome. I love riding through the well laid curves and tree canopies. Enough trail benches and smooth pavement. Love it!

Easton Rail-Trail

love the trail!

June, 2024 by tpslucks

Very nice trail. I just discovered the western spur the other day and it’s very nice. Was curious that it’s not on the trail map though.

Woodbine Railroad Trail

Good trail to bike! Pretty flat paved trail. Not much foot or bike traffic. We biked on Memorial Day Weekend and we passed only three bikers.
