Northern Delaware Greenway – East Link
The East Link of the Northern Delaware Greenway spans 10 miles of northern
New Castle County from Fox Point State Park on the Delaware River to the
Brandywine Creek and the City of Wilmington. This urban trail connects
with Wilmington’s Walkway system and links together residential communities,
schools, businesses, parks and cultural sites. Eventually, the Northern
Delaware Greenway will stretch across New Castle County connecting with
the trail network in Middle Run Natural Area and White Clay Creek State
Park.
Northern Delaware Greenway - West Link
The West Link of the Northern Delaware Greenway extends from White Clay
Creek State Park, north of Newark, to the Mill Creek Hundred, taking in
Middle Run Valley Natural Area, Carousel Farms, and Delcastle Recreation
Area.
Christina River
Efforts to preserve the Christina River corridor and enhance it with
recreational trails and pathways are underway from the City of Wilmington
to the river’s upper reaches.
East Coast Greenway
The East Coast Greenway will be a city to city multi-use trail system
that connects existing and planned trails with new corridors using waterfronts,
park paths, abandoned railroads, rails with trails, canal towpaths, and
parkway corridors. It will be an 80 percent off-road route for cyclists,
hikers, and other users, in the densely populated Northeast seaboard.
The route will be a more urban alternative to the Appalachian Trail, located
in the shadows of skyscrapers, and suburban green spaces, but also in
rural bucolic settings. Several routes for the East Coast Greenway to
proceed through Delaware are being analyzed. A proposed route must receive
approval from the East Coast Greenway Alliance Board.
C&D Canal
The C&D Canal connects the Delaware River, just south of Delaware
City, to the Chesapeake Bay. The north and south banks of the canal include
more than 5,100 acres of protected lands, managed by the Divisions of
Fish and Wildlife and Parks and Recreation.
