The start of the Chesapeake-and-Delaware Canal trail which connects Chesapeake city and Delaware City. You ride with a view of the water almost the whole way. The route is paved with only two short hills.

Plenty of parking at Schaffer’s restaurant or overflow parking nearby. A nice creamery 16 miles down the trail, or another on the opposite side of the bridge (not a great bridge to cycle over though so be warned). Trail is flat and a nice 15 mile there and back route (30 mile ride).

Not a lot of parking, two trash cans, and a gate goes all the way to Delaware City.
