Reviews of Ben Cardin C&D Canal Trail
"This is a great trail. It has long flat parts and then it turns into steep up hill and down hill with switch backs and hair pin turns. The canal offers great views. When the wind is blowing it offers a 17 mile workout in one direction with a tail wind in the other direction. The Mike Cassel trail is connected to this trail and offers 34 miles of riding in the round trip. I'm 70 and can do the round trip in 2 to 2.5 hours depending on wind. It runs from Delaware City to Chesapeake City. I start out at Kathy's Crab house in Delaware City and at that end there are many restaurants and nice sights. At the Chesapeake City end the small town feel permeates with restaurants and good views of the canal. The trail also runs through the parking lot of The Grain. I ride this trail as often as I can. It is a 34 mile round trip but you can turn back when you want. Bring your road bike as the trail is paved its entire length. Twenty three mm tires or wider work fine, the trail is that good. There are parking lots and restrooms at different points along the trail. There's a railroad bridge that goes up to allow ships to go under and lowers to allow trains to go over the canal. If you are lucky a train will go over while you're going by and you can see this feat of engineering."
"The western end of the trail which runs from here to Delaware City. This spot is a short walk from Schaefers Canal house. This is my favorite walking and bike riding spot on the trail. When you're done, go in and grab a meal to re-charge. On the 4th of July it's also a great spot to watch the fireworks. This is the north side of the C&D canal which is one of the busiest canals in the country. You often get lucky and see a big ship going by.

"My husband have been training for a Bicycle Century Ride and heard about this bike path that connects with the Michael Castle trail in Delaware. It goes from Chesapeake City to Delaware City - 15 miles. It is all paved and follows along the C&D Canal. It is a beautiful ride. We've gone back 3 times - 3 weeks in a row. Lots of restaurant choices when you finish. The signage for parking is a little confusing - it's under the bridge in Chesapeake City and there's no restroom at that parking area. There are several spots along the way that have restrooms."
"It was a terrific place to bike and walk along the waterway. Very picturesque."
"My wife and I walked a portion of the canal trail today in Chesapeake City. We started in Maryland and crossed into Delaware. Along the way we saw a large barge carrying cement. On the walk back we saw this black snake coming out of the brush. Nature holds many amazing treats for us as we push through life."
