Delaware River Trail (Hunterdon County)

Trail Map

This trail tracks the Delaware River Scenic Byway and then extends beyond it all the way to Milford Bluffs.  Starting in the quaint and historic village of Lambertville on Route 29 and then proceeding up to Prallsville for scenic access points along the Delaware River, the trail then veers off of Route 29 in order to visit the sister parks, Wescott Nature Preserve and Zega Lockatong Preserve.  You will return to Route 29 by venturing down a steep dirt and gravel road that takes you directly to Bull’s Island, where you can walk over a sturdy foot-bridge all the way to Pennsylvania (ok, it’s not all that far).  Kingwood Access, a fishing hotspot, and Frenchtown both offer access to the river and ample wildlife viewing opportunities.  The final stop is Milford Bluffs, where a short, but moderately difficult hike will take you to a stunning view of the River.  Gas, food and lodging are in plentiful supply along this route, as are farm markets, country craft vendors, art galleries and historic sites.

Columbia Trail Connection 

There is a connection to the Columbia Trail about a quarter mile from High Bridge entitled the Taylor Steelworkers Historical Greenway.  The Greenway encompasses about 6.5 miles of the Borough's historical properities including Lake Solitude Fall and the colonial TISCO Properities. .

The connection of the truss bridge over the South Branch is set to be completed in August 2008, but the rest of the Greenway is open for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Information at www.hmdb.org under "Columbia Trail"
