The Assawoman Canal Trail is a picturesque 3.9-mile path that follows the historic Assawoman Canal, offering scenic views of marshland and wooded areas. This trail is ideal for hiking, biking, and birdwatching, with plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife like herons, turtles, and deer. The canal itself has historical significance, having been built in the 19th century to connect the Indian River Bay to the Little Assawoman Bay. The trail provides a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path experience for those looking to enjoy Delaware’s natural beauty away from the crowds of more popular beach destinations.
