White Clay / Middle Run (Northern Delaware Greenway - West Link)
Description: This greenway represents
the western section of the Northern Delaware Greenway. The greenway begins
at the western terminus of the Mill Creek Greenway near the Middle Run
Natural Area northeast of Newark. Several trails have been constructed
throughout the Middle Run Natural Area County Park which continue westward
to the Possum Hill Area of White Clay Creek State Park. The Hopkins Trail,
a multi-use trail, will be constructed through "the Land Bridge" in White
Clay Creek State Park linking the Mason-Dixon trail, the White Clay Creek
Preserve, theCity of Newark and University of Delaware, and eventually
the Fairhill Natural Area near Elkton Maryland.
Upper Christina River
Description: This joint project of
the Christina Conservancy and the Delaware Nature Society strives to improve
water quality through education of private landowners in the upper reaches
of the Christina River in northwestern Castle County, Cecil County, Maryland
and Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Lower Christina River Greenway
Description: New Castle County Department
of Parks & Recreation, Christina River Development Corporation, City of
Wilmington, Christina Conservancy, DNS, and Kalmar Nyckel Foundation are
all contributing to protection in this portion of the river. These efforts
include creating pathways and revitalizing the Christina Riverfront in
Wilmington.
East Coast Greenway
Description: 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% 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 greenspaces, but also in rural bucolic settings. The path
of the East Coast Greenway in Delaware has not yet been determined.
Pencader Hundred
Description: New Castle County's
Department of Parks & Recreation is planning a greenway corridor and trail
development from Beck's Pond to Lums Pond State Park. The greenway will
include a new regional park near Glasgow, former Frenchtown Rail Road
lands, suburban streets through the Mansion Farms area, and a new district
park.
