The Delaware Canal Towpath is an almost 60-mile trail that follows the Delaware Canal. The surface is normally well-packed single track next to the canal. At times, you need to use quiet roads to connect between two sections of the path.

This short bridge over the canal takes you to a rebuilt home from 1799 that now functions as a restroom with water fountains and air conditioning. This is a great little scenic rest stop along the canal trail.

Washington Crossing the Delaware River statue is located on the corner of River Road and Route 532. This statue is based on Emmanuel Leutze’s famous painting of the nation's first president, George Washington, crossing the Delaware River. The statue was quite a feat to bring to this small town, as it weighs 30 tons. It was carved by a 76-year-old retired limestone sculptor in the 1970s.

The Washington Crossing Bridge spans the Delaware River, connecting the historic Washington Crossing Parks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This narrow iron truss bridge, built in 1904, accommodates two lanes of traffic with a 3-ton weight limit and a 15 mph speed limit. It has a 3'6" wooden pedestrian walkway, and traffic signals at each end manage the flow of vehicles due to the bridge's narrowness. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission has recently announced plans to replace the bridge to address safety and operational issues. The new design will feature wider lanes, shoulders, and a pedestrian path, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety while still respecting the area's historical significance.

Yardley, PA is great place to visit, if you are Bucks County PA. Good food and drink. The Delaware Valley Towpath Trail runs through it. The Yardley Inn one of my favorite local resturant.If you enjoy a cold beer, try The Vault.It use to be a bank, and yes there is a vault!

Bikes are allowed on the bridge! I went over the 'grate like' bridge just fine!

A slight drop in the Delaware River creates a low waterfall shelf that is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing. A parking lot and lookout area can be found just off of the D&R trail. When water levels are high it is possible that the falls disappear under the surface, but you still get a great view of the river.

All told, the Delaware and Raritan Canal Towpath runs almost 60 miles along the river shore. Although the majority of the trail is bike-friendly, you may occasionally need to walk the bike under low bridges or across boardwalks.
