    I moved to this area 31 years ago, partially to enjoy the towpath. Many hours exploring with my dogs. It’s beautiful.

    Love this ride and have done it many times. Peasant, flat, and peaceful (except when trout season begins!), and Frenchtown and Lambertville are great places to stop Good job!

    My husband and I saw you this day! We have been waiting for you to post this video to see if we made the cut. We were stopped and having a break before you get to Washington Crossing. We ride that stretch often! I'm sorry we didn't realize it was you until you were past us. We enjoy your videos.

    The Canal was only a feeder from Trenton to Bulls Island. Raven Rock Station on the Bel-Del RR

      Here is a link to the map of all of the parking places along the canal: dandrcanal.org/about-d-r-canal-state-park/parking-areas-2. If you want to start near where we started, there is a very nice parking area along the river in Frenchtown - 3037 River Drive, 08825 Frenchtown, NJ. If you have access to the TrailLink app, you can select where you want to park and get GPS directions. Thanks for watching and I hope you get a chance to get out on this trail.

    Do you guys have any problems taking your ebikes into the room with you at hotels? Or do you just check ahead of time if they allow it before making reservations?

    • @Adventuresonebikes
      @Adventuresonebikes  Рік тому +1

      We haven’t had any problem at all, we tell them we want to keep our bikes in our room, but we haven’t pointed out that we have ebikes. Not because we are trying to pull something over on them, just from my research, but batteries that have problems are aftermarket, or not properly monitored when charging. We only stay at Marriott properties, so I don’t if anyone else has restrictions. I guess if they had concern you could take the batteries off the bike and still put the bike in your room - just leave the batteries in the car after they are charged?
