Trail / Event
Description: TOWPATH TRAIL: This is a quiet woods walk out
and back along the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath. It is free of
traffic. The route starts from the registration point. Great if you want
solitude or a chance to get your speed up. Tow Path is mainly packed
sand/clay. Suitable for strollers and wheelchairs but bad weather will
increase the difficulty. The D & R Canal was constructed by Irish
Immigrants, 1830 - 1834. It was entered into the National Register of
Historic Places in 1973. It became a New Jersey State Park in 1974. Walkers
will be following along the Main Canal Towpath, running 29 miles between
Trenton, NJ and New Brunswick, NJ. |
