Killens Pond Bike Trail

Good beginner trail

August, 2025 by jgreeson

I actually started at the fishing pier and went through the pond-side trail. Was on a bicycle. Realized I wasn’t supposed to ride on the trail half-way through. Oops. Anyhow I enjoyed that part of the trail on my bicycle as it was good for my beginner trail skills. Did end up on the gravel road towards the end. Anyhow I enjoyed it, not thrilling, but was nice none-the-less.

Junction & Breakwater Trail

Nice, but not completely paved as of Aug. 2025

August, 2025 by susancnett

The description of the trail says it is completely paved, but we started at the parking lot off of Wolfe Neck Road, and it is hard-pack, not paved. This was OK for us, but if we were on inline skates, we would not have been able to ride that section.

We rode northwest, towards Golden Eagle Blvd. After about a mile, it was paved. Traveling southeast, the surface was also hard-packed. We didn't go the whole way in that direction, so I don't know if it would have become paved at some point.
The trail is beautiful and well-marked. It was a Friday, midday, and the trail was busy. The road crossings were well-marked and had warning lights. The motorists were very respectful, waiting for trail users to cross.

I wish there were a few more signs with trail etiquette reminders. Twice, there were people stopped for a break and standing ON the trail, making passing them a challenge.

Kudos to Delaware for a great trail.

Georgetown-Lewes Trail

J&B, Georgetown/Lewes and Cape Henlopen trails

July, 2025 by baarters

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.

Michael N. Castle C&D Canal Trail

nice Ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

Ditto to the person who wrote the review with questions/answers. Not too difficult with e-bikes. We have ridden this a few time & love it . We travel from Abingdon Md . Good directions where to get on the trail. Mostly flat & wear sunscreen cause you are not covered much by trees. Nice scenery. You will not regret riding this trail.

Northern Delaware Greenway Trail

cool ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

I read reviews on All trail site & my husband @ I thought we would try it due to what was posted on more variety of the trail. We would have given it a 5 rating if there was more direction at beginning of trail where to get on by the zoo. Like another reviewer posted it is to your left if you are looking at the zoo & is at the tree line. Also there are many forks in path that get you confused which way to go. Had the GPS which kept us on track. Loved the hills/ forest/ river. The end @ Bellefonte stopped at highway. We had e-bikes so it was really fun. Would do this again. pathBesides this we have e- bikes & loved the hills/ wooded area with bridges.

Pinelands Nature Trail

very sandy

July, 2025 by hv8wkxq46x

I was looking for a trail run, and this was essentially like running on sand. Wasn’t a big fan. The other trails in the park are better.

PennDel Trail

Varying conditions throughout

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Definitely an adventure on a bike. Some parts are smooth; others are pretty rugged. Just be prepared for some rocks. 10mph feels like flying.

Pomeroy and Newark Rail Trail

Neat trail with varying conditions

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

The southern part is paved and easy to follow. The middle section joins with a state park road, and one siding is deceiving. After leaving the state park road, the trail turns to gravel with frequent mud puddles and electrical boxes. Wouldn’t recommend this section to beginners.

James F. Hall Trail

Simple

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Not much to it. Just paved and easy. The trains do get loud so maybe not the best for small children.

Jack A. Markell Trail

Highly enjoyed the paved path, the wildlife sanctuary you ride through. Nice to stop for dinner on the Waterfront in Wilmington. Very nice path
