Love to head south from New Hope on the tow path. It's a great place to ride. Lovely homes, gardens and wildlife to view.

Walking, running, biking along the canal is great. The towpath goes on for miles on both the PA and NJ side.
Enjoyable walk along the towpath is tempered by the empty canal in many places. Many expensive restoration efforts have tried to restore the picturesque canal but the efforts keep getting wiped out by recurring floods.
I walk or run on the canal path several times weekly. It's well-maintained, clean and scenic. History & fitness; a winning combination!
This is another day trip in the area...with things for all to do...it is a step back in time...it is a cleaver way to teach history to your grandkids
Live near the path and use it all the time. You will see people walking, jogging and sitting on the banks fishing. Families ride bikes on the path. Great place to hike and see the wildlife.
We biked 5 miles down the towpath and back from Washington Crossing's State Park to Yardley. What a great place to bike and enjoy the scenery. It was especially enjoyable on the way back after a beer at Vault, the local brewery in town.
The Delaware Canal extends from Bristol to Easton on the Pennsylvania side of the river. The tow path, along side of the canal, was utilized by mules to pull barges between these locations. It currently becomes a wonderful walkway with spectacular views of the river. The tow path along the canal frequently weaves slightly inland.

A great history of the canal system in the 1800's. and a fun place ride a barge or to walk or bike down the tow path.
