Destination? Junction & Breakwater Trail, Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Delaware, Beautiful Day at the Delaware Beaches, Biking, Walking & Hiking Trail, Southern Delaware, Gorgeous Day in Delmarva!

This is a gorgeous day to go out and about at the Delaware Beaches….If it is too cool at the beach…hiking, biking or walking is just within reach at the Junction & Breakwater Trail.

The trail lies between Rehoboth and Lewes.  Since I live in Rehoboth Beach, I usually park behind the outlets and take off walking with a friend.  Plenty of others choose to bike it.

This trail used to be a rail line that ran between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach in the mid 1800s.  The former Penn Centrail Rail line, once transported passengers to many Methodist resorts camps along this coast.  So, in reality you are standing in the path of a train.

The Junction & Breakwater Trail opened in December of 2003.  It was originally a 3.6 mile crushed stone trail extending from Hebron Rd. in West Rehoboth going north to the Wolfe Glade trestle.  In 2007 an additional 2.4 mile corridor was opened with a total of 6 miles.

The trail includes an 80 foot long railroad bridge originally built in 1913 that crosses Holland Glade.  Beautiful views of the wetlands and of the WWII observation tower on the beach.

If you get tired, you will find benches along the way where you can sit, relax and take it all in.

Have a great day!!

   A picture of the bridge from the side would be nice for us railroad geeks.
