The path is fabulous for birdwatching, especially as it goes through Phillips park, but also at several other points on the path. It's also convenient for travelling through town on bike. If you live in Newark, I highly recommend checking this path out, and I especially recommend checking out Phillips park, at the Southwest end of the path.

I'm not sure if this is considered part of White Clay Creek park or not, but it was a hidden…read moretreasure. Our GPS did a good job taking us to the parking lot, but there were some parts where I wondered if we were even on a public road. It was worth it. There's a bird watching trail and a hiking trail. A few people were gearing up to go mountain biking. I don't know if I'd risk it, I'm not a big daredevil and the trail looked steep. My husband and I only wandered around for a little bit, because we had other engagements, but I'd love to come back in the fall. I'm sure the changing leaves are magnificent. Otherwise, it was just really nice to look at all of the birds. On the bird watching trail, there were some bees too, which is always nice to see.

The trail extends between two towns, and follows a former railroad bed with plenty of trees for shade and benches for rest breaks. Not as crowded as Gordon's pond trail! We rode the trail on bikes and parked for free at , Stephen T. Hudson Park , In Milton/Coolspring area. If your looking for a close landmark for GPS location to Stephen T. Hudson Park , its by the " Brimming Horn Meadery " in Milton. The park is basically a parking lot, rest area, and connects you to the Georgetown/Lewes trail. You're basically riding through lots of neighborhoods whose back yards back up to the trail and the home owners take pride in welcoming bike riders. Be on the look out for the backyard of dressed mannequins, pet memorial placing dog collars on fence , memorial to Jimmy Buffett, flamingos and interesting yard decor ! We stopped at Nassau bridge to "Old World Breads" (awesome bakery) , and "Dog Pirate Brewery."

Full disclosure, a large part of the trail that goes through New Castle was my childhood in the…read more80's. Before this trail existed in New Castle, there once was railroad tracks and a train that would come along once in a while. "The tracks" as we called them, was our byway to school or Old New Castle. Long gone is the train and "the tracks" but what lies in its wake is a paved trail. This trail is roughly 10 miles round trip and runs from Old New Castle to Wilmington. On a fall day, my wife and I decided to walk this trail. We started in Old New Castle at New Castle Elementary School. The beauty of the Fall enhanced the trail. You immediately are walking through wetlands. After the wetlands, the course is sandwiched between Jefferson Farms (were I lived growing up) and Manor Gardens. The course then goes through an industrial park and crosses over Boulden Blvd and past Suburban Little League. After the baseball field, you go past Wilmington Manor before It runs under a couple of I-95 bridges, you pass the women's prison and the Delaware State Hospital. There is a nice pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Christina River and leads into more wetlands. Finally, the course ends at the DuPont Environmental Station. By this point, you are at the Wilmington Riverfront. After all this walking we grabbed a bite to eat before heading back down the trail. All in all, this is a great trail for walking, running, or biking.
