Summary: The middle section of the Delaware and Raritan Feeder Canal trail deviates from the canal itself and runs for the most part on converted rail line. This doesn't change the surface of the trail, which remains smooth and level. Hostorically, this section of the canal was to supply water to the lower, more commercial sections of the canal. Utilizing the pedestrian-only bridge at Bulls Island and the bridge between Lambertville and New Hope to join the Delaware Canal towpath on the Pennsylvania side make a loop of 13.6 miles. Trailhead: The parking area at the Bulls Island Recreational Area is just off Route 29 three miles North of Stockton and the intersection with Route 523. (lat N40 24.650 lon: W75 02.078). The D&R Feeder Canal Office is here along with the Bulls Island campsite with trailer parking, picnct tables, flush toilets and showers.
