D&R Canal Trail

The D&R Canal Trail follows the old Delaware and Raritan Canal route through central New Jersey. It's shaped like a V, with Trenton at the lower point, and Milford and New Brunswick at the ends.

The main route, from south of Milford to New Brunswick, is around 70 miles long.

The western portion of the trail is across the Delaware River from Pennsylvania, where the Delaware Canal Towpath runs for about 60 miles, mostly along the western bank of the river, parallel to the D&R.

Be sure to use our D&L and Delaware Canal website if you want to incorporate the D&L Canal Towpath and/or Delaware Canal into your trip.
