Location: Chesapeake City, Cecil County, Maryland, United States
Maryland's Ben Cardin C&D Canal Recreational Trail was named after U.S. Senator Ben Cardin and connects to Delaware's Michael Castle Trail along the north bank of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, meeting at the state line. Starting at the trailhead on Lock Street in North Chesapeake City, the paved pathway runs 1.8 miles along the waterfront to the Delaware border. Access to the trailhead is via Route 213; follow the signs to parking at Lock Street and the C&D Canal. The C&D Canal, which the trail runs along, was dug in the early 1800s and widened in the early 1900s, and is currently managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
