Road cycling

The Mike Castle Trail is a 12.4-mile asphalt path that connects Delaware City Marina to the Ben Cardin C&D Canal Recreational Trail at the Delaware/Maryland state line near Newark. This mixed-use trail is popular for activities like biking, walking, inline skating, and cross-country skiing. The trail offers several parking areas with restrooms along the route, as well as nice river views.

A great mixed-use path (cyclists and pedestrians) between Delaware City and Chesapeake City. You'll find lots of parking along the trail with restrooms. I'm pretty sure there is drinking water in the marina at about the half way point but I haven't found it yet.
