Delaware proudly hosts a portion of the East Coast Greenway – a 3,000 mile non-motorized walking and biking trail stretching from Maine to Florida, connecting our nation’s most populated corridor. When complete, the Greenway will offer a safe place for bicyclists, walkers, runners and more – of all ages and abilities – to commute, exercise, and visit new destinations from Maine to Florida. View the current interim route with on-road portions at map.greenway.org.
As Delaware continues to expand its trail network, we may be the first state to complete the route of the East Coast Greenway within its borders. As of the 2023 summer, 27 miles have been completed of the 38 miles planned. Learn more about the remaining Delaware segments.
The Northern Delaware Greenway links Bellevue State Park and Brandywine Park and the City of Wilmington through 10.4 miles of asphalt trails that travel some of the most beautiful landscapes in Delaware. More information, including maps, on the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail page.
The Jack A. Markell Trail completes a long-awaited connection between the city of Wilmington (including the Amtrak Station) and New Castle Battery Park. That connection consists of an off-road elevated boardwalk and paved pathways, the Wilmington Riverwalk, and one on-road section through Historic New Castle, totaling 7.9 miles. More information, including maps on the Markell Trail page.
The Battery Park Trail is a 3.7 mile paved walking, hiking and biking trail in Historic New Castle. It runs along the Delaware River, providing amazing views of waterfowl, ships and the Delaware Memorial Bridge. More information, including maps, on the Battery Park Trail page.
The 1.8 mile James F. Hall Trail, a segment of the Newark Bikeways‘ Central Loop, and the southwest section, is great for bicycling, in-line skating, and walking on an urban path that never crosses a road. It runs along the north side of the Amtrak Railroad line and passes through three Newark city parks. For more information, visit the James F. Hall Trail page.
