Towpath Trail

The Towpath Trail is a scenic multi-use pathway that follows the route of historic canal towpaths, often alongside rivers or waterways. Designed for walking, running, biking, and sometimes horseback riding, it offers a flat, accessible route for recreation and commuting. Many Towpath Trails are part of larger regional networks, providing opportunities for outdoor activity while preserving the history of canal transportation and improving connectivity between communities. They typically feature natural landscapes, historical markers, and connections to parks, making them both functional routes and enjoyable outdoor spaces.
