[BIKE] Trail Review of Delaware Canal from Uhlerstown to Easton

[John Boyle]

A trail review from the rails to trails www.traillink.com website.   Title: Uhlerstown to Easton a Great Ride Review: We'd ridden various other parts of this trail before, but this weekend did Uhlerstown to Easton. This section of the trail is in great shape and the ride is just as beautiful and interesting as other sections of the trail.   If you start in Frenchtown, parking is available right at the bridge. Unfortunately, it's not immediately obvious how to access the trail, as the canal is quite a distance from the river at this point. Walk across the bridge, take a left on River Road and then an immediate right on Uhlerstown Hill road to connect with the trail.   At the northern end, we were pleasantly suprised by the opportunities for a nice lunch in Phillipsburg. Ride through a few blocks of downtown Easton to access the "free bridge" across the Delaware. There are a couple of hamburger stands right at the bridge. We opted to go a short distance up the hill; the first building on the right houses Zoota, an excellent restaurant with a creative menu and sidewalk dining. There's also a nice view of the falls from this side of the river. Phillipsburg seems to be experiencing a renaissance, so there are other nice eateries too.     Copyright © 2004 Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC). All rights reserved.
