The Jack A. Markell Trail is a paved multi-use path connecting downtown Wilmington to Historic New Castle. The 7.9-mile trail features scenic bridges on a railway track over the Christina River. Opened in 2018, the $26 million trail transformed an abandoned rail line into a pedestrian and bicycle path, including an elevated boardwalk, paved pathways, and a small on-road section by Farnhurst. Amenities along the trail include bike repair stations, rentals, interpretive kiosks, and a visitor center at the DuPont Environmental Education Center.
