Event comments
The Michael N. Castle Trail offers a scenic walking and biking route along the north shore of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in northern Delaware. Named for former U.S. Congressman and Governor Michael N. Castle, the trail includes 12 miles of paved surface, three trailheads and amenities including benches. Trail counters measure trail usage of this popular trail with estimates exceeding 200,000 annually. It’s well worth a visit.The C&D Canal dug in the 1800’s and widened in the early 1900’s links the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River via a 14-mile route through what were once swampy marshlands. Today, the canal continues to be one of the world’s busiest, as much of the shipping traffic to and from the Port of Baltimore—one of the largest ports in the United States—makes its way through the channel.
