Assawoman Canal Trail Walk And Cycle
The Assawoman Canal Trail is a flat, multi-use path located in Sussex County, Delaware. It runs alongside the Assawoman Canal, which connects the Indian River Bay to Little Assawoman Bay.
The trail offers a scenic, tree-lined route through a mix of residential areas and natural landscapes, providing views of the calm canal waters along much of its length.
The surface of the trail is primarily crushed stone and is suitable for walking, running, and cycling. It is generally level and accessible for users of varying abilities. The trail passes through areas of native vegetation, with opportunities to see birds, small mammals, and waterfowl, particularly near the canal and wooded sections.
There are several access points along the trail, including from Bethany Beach and Ocean View. The route is used for both recreation and as a quiet alternative for local travel on foot or by bike. It is especially popular with residents and visitors seeking a peaceful, shaded path close to the water.
