Depending on which section you traverse, you’ll get glimpses of the canal, a locktender’s house, historic sites, and more. Or check out one of the trails that comprise THE LINK Trail Network, which is an interconnected network of beautiful multi-use trails (the D&L being one of them).
Opt for a guided walking tour or explore on your own.
