This shared-use trail is nestled between the Red Clay Creek and the Delaware Pennsylvania state line in northern New Castle County. From the trailhead, just off of Benge Road, this wide, paved trail showcases views of the Red Clay Creek and panoramic across the Auburn Valley. Follow the trail as it winds through pastoral rolling fields. Stay alert; for you might just connect to the past as this trail is open the steam cars! Please Note: The trail crosses an access road for several private residents. Use caution when making this crossing.
