Roy you rated the trails very well. I agree completly. I would only
add that the Barge Trail runs on both side of the Delaware River.
Frenchtown NJ, Trenton NJ to New Brunwick through Princeton NJ, it is
the D&R, trail, Delaware and Rartin trail. The section through the
city of Trenton is interupted but doeable. The D&R is a link in the
East Coast Greenway. From them, cue sheets are available to connect
both trails through Trenton NJ and Morrisville PA.
