Prickly Pear Trail

Family friendly trail

December, 2020 by qaix3sm8vw

Visited at the end of December and it was a great trail to do with kids ages 11, 8, and 5. Plenty to explore and nicely maintained, flat trail. Plenty of trees offer some protection from the wind.

Prickly Pear Trail

Fresh Pond DE State Park prickly pear

November, 2020 by kferrusi

Well kept, wide trail on level ground; it was a great walk. Some bike riders went by with plenty of room to spare. The air smelled fresh and clean. We walked all of the trails in the park in one outing. We will return in all seasons. And it was quiet. We could hear Rte 1 from time to time; but it was not intrusive.

Assateague Island Bike Path

Nice Flat Ride

October, 2020 by ringogarcia1972

We just took a crisp mid-October ride and it was very doable, flat, and easy. The bridge over had a great view of Ocean City. Only downside is you may ride along backup of cars getting into park. On the horses, its good to manage your expectations. You definitely know they are there because there are plenty of horse pies on the trail that you may need to dodge. We actually did see one after going off a side trail. One frustrated woman yelled out to the Park Ranger asking where the horses were. Answer: “They are wild mam! I cant tell you where they are at any given time.” ¿¿

Seahorse Trail

Holt Landing State Park

October, 2020 by benbowne

Best of both worlds - bayside ride and forest ride. Great playground for the kids. Picnic areas along the way just off the trail with tables/benches.

Marshyhope Hike and Bike Trail

Bridges over Dorchester County

September, 2020 by benbowne

Scenic ride by and over water. Three playgrounds along the way. Good spots to stop and fish and/or picnic.

Georgetown-Lewes Trail

Rode the entire trail and back with the family. It was a bit tiring towing the little ones behind me but the whole family had a blast!

Prickly Pear Trail

Horseshoe Crab Graveyard

September, 2020 by benbowne

Peaceful forested ride out to a point overlooking the bay where you will encounter a horseshoe crab “graveyard” due to tidal conditions. Easy path conditions for our kids (11 & 7).

Georgetown-Lewes Trail

Road from Tall Pines to Lewes and back, plan on making it longer by continuing on the Breakwater trail. Nice ride and mostly cars stopped and let you cross.

Georgetown-Lewes Trail

This is it

June, 2020 by markmd21

This is the way a bike trail should be done. It's only finished about half way to Georgetown as I write this, but they continue to make progress every winter. Flat, smooth, shady, well marked, and built up with stone berms and wooden fencing wherever there is any drop-off. I can't remember being on a nicer trail than this one. It is entirely paved, but keep in mind that if you want to connect near Lewes to the Junction and Breakwater Trail to Rehoboth, after about three miles, that trail is crushed stone. It's in good shape and beautiful, but you can't really do that portion on a road bike.

St. Michaels Nature Trail

nice quick ride

June, 2020 by mro1952

Flat, EZ and clean... With a few water views

Easton Rails-to-Trails

pleasant ride

June, 2020 by mro1952

A nice easy ride in Easton.. Almost completely flat

Marshyhope Hike and Bike Trail

Nice, scenic trail.

June, 2020 by kathy.decker1

On one end (south?) the path is loose gravel and not well suited to narrow tires. Also, in a spot or two, the trail apparently floods in high tide. But, the majority of the path is dry and suitable for any tires. Beautiful scenery. Quiet trail to walk or bike.
