South of Trenton, a relatively short, disconnected section of the trail spans 3.5 miles, beginning at Canal Boulevard and running through a wooded tract of the Abbott Marshlands. It ends at the historical outlet lock into Crosswick Creek at Bordentown. The trail here is dirt, with some narrow sections, mostly running next to a canal and an active rail line.

DIRECTIONS

You can access the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail from dozens of places along the way. Below, we list directions to parking lots closest to the endpoints of the trail, but more options can be found on the trail website or TrailLink.com.

The northwesternmost parking lot for the trail is available at Old Frenchtown Field in Frenchtown. From the intersection of US 1 and NJ 29 in Trenton, take NJ 29 N, and go 32 miles to reach Frenchtown (NJ 29 makes a few turns, so make sure to follow the signs for NJ 29). Arriving in Frenchtown, you’ll come to a T-junction; take a left onto Bridge St., then make your first right turn onto Harrison St. Take Harrison north 0.7 mile to 12th St. Take a left onto 12th St. and follow it a short distance to the parking lot at the northwest corner of Old Frenchtown Field.
