Georgetown–Lewes Trail

[1] The railroad was built in the 19th Century and ran along this route until 2016 when the bridge over the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal was deemed unsafe and too expensive to replace.

[7] Phase VII, from the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal to Cape Henlopen State Park was completed by summer of 2023.

[8] When completed the trail will run all the way from Georgetown, DE where the rail junction is to Cape Henlopen State Park.

After a brief stretch of street traffic, the trail's wide lanes open up to a beautiful mix of sand, sea grass, and pine trees, offering intermittent shade.

Just before Cape Henlopen State Park the trail leaves the railroad ROW and moves onto a protected bike lane.
