The Michael N. Castle Trail, named after former U.S. Congressman and Governor Michael N. Castle, is a scenic, paved, multi-use 12.1-mile walking and biking route along the north shore of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in northern Delaware. The trail is relatively flat, wide, and easy to navigate. With three trailheads and amenities such as benches and bathrooms, this popular trail attracts over 200,000 visitors annually. The C&D Canal was first dug in the 1800s and widened in the early 1900s. This canal connects the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River and serves as a crucial shipping route for the Port of Baltimore. The trail along its shore provides outstanding recreational opportunities for pedestrians, bicyclists, bird-watchers, and nature enthusiasts, offering views of abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes over the water.
