D&R Canal Trail, Recreational trail in New Jersey, United States.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail extends 77 miles through central New Jersey, featuring crushed stone paths and paved sections in urban areas.
The trail follows a transportation route constructed in the 1830s that connected Philadelphia to New York City through a system of canals and towpaths.
Multiple historical structures line the trail, including 19th-century bridges, lock houses, cobblestone spillways, and stone-arched culverts from the canal's operational period.
Visitors access the trail through multiple entry points, with major trailheads at Landing Lane Bridge in New Brunswick, Bulls Island, and Frenchtown.
Two different types of distance markers exist on the trail: original concrete mile markers from the canal era and modern markers placed every half mile.
