The Milton Rail-Trail is a short, paved pathway in the small town of Milton, allowing local residents to get out and take a quick ride or walk along a flat, off-road corridor. The newest section of the trail was opened in June 2020, giving residents of the neighborhoods west of town a safe and easy means of heading east. While it may not offer enough mileage or scenery to warrant going out of your way, the rail-trail is a nice asset to the community and just one of many examples of Delaware's efforts to improve access to trails across the state.
No dedicated trail parking is available; please be sure to follow any posted parking signs and regulations.
We live in Milton and have visited the trail several times. Each time I think how awesome it would be if it connected to the larger trail system leading into Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Rehoboth. On occasion, we will get into the car and drive to one of those trailheads. The Milton rail trail is beautiful, but maybe be a little shortsighted for those wanting more of a workout/challenge/enjoyment.
This trail goes through forest, field, and some pretty neighborhoods. Excellent for Pokemon players, dog walkers, and meanderers.
