An amazing journey
This ~30 mile loop ride explores both the Delaware & Raritan and Delaware & Lehigh trails in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our group of 40 riders will traverse a mostly flat route through quaint riverside towns with brief stops at historic sites, including Washington Crossing!
Relax & ride
Bring yourself and your bike (and helmet!) and you’re good to go! A lunch stop is included, and we’ll have mechanics along the way if you need it.
Transit friendly
First time taking rail to trail? No problem! For riders taking SEPTA to the start, we’ll meet you at 30th St. Station to travel together (select this when purchasing your ticket). Or, drive your own vehicle to begin the ride at the West Trenton SEPTA station. The ride will begin and end here.
Route
This ride begins at the West Trenton SEPTA station and follows the Delaware & Raritan Canal Towpath. There will be a lunch stop in Stockton, New Jersey before crossing Bridge Street into Pennsylvania, where we’ll loop around and return on the Delaware Canal Towpath. We’ll cross the Scudders Falls Bridge back into New Jersey before returning to the West Trenton station. From there, riders will either ride the train back to Center City Philadelphia, or retrieve their car.
