Northern Delaware Greenway – East Link
Description: 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
Description: 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
Description: 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
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 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
Description: 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.
