You don't have to be Lance Armstrong to have fun on two wheels. For those who take a more relaxed approach to cycling, the multi-use paths along the canals on either side of the Delaware River offer excellent opportunities to ride extended distances without encountering hills or drivers who don't seem inclined to share the road.
In Pennsylvania, the Delaware Canal runs from Bristol to Easton. It has been paved over in many places south of Morrisville, but from Morrisville north to Uhlerstown, the towpath is surfaced with hard-packed crushed stone ...
NOTE: The canal path suffered extensive flood damage in 2004 and 2005. Sections of the towpath were closed until they could be repaired. Please check for updated information on closings before purchasing this guide. Click here to see our flood information page.
Just "Click to Pay" and follow the instructions to make your payment. The download includes the complete description, mileage chart, and three maps showing access to the canals on both sides of the Delaware River. Once you've paid, you'll get you a link to the page where you can download the material. It's easy, and it's fast. |
