D & R Canal Family Trek

Welcome to a Teen Treks’ Family Treks! Our family bike adventures provide opportunity for quality time as an entire family while getting to travel with other like-minded adventurous families. Explore American history and picturesque cities on this six-day adventure. This trip is a great introduction to bike touring, taking place on a canal path, free from automotive traffic. The D&R Canal Trek will spend most nights in comfortable hotels that are fun for the whole family, with one night dipping toes into “bike-camping” at a family campground. 

 We’ll follow follow the Delaware and Raritan Canal Historic Tow Path, a flat multi-use trail through New Jersey. After crossing into Pennsylvania we’ll follow a similar trail, the Delaware Canal Towpath, as it snakes along the calm shores of the Delaware River.

You’ll visit great little towns in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including Princeton (where you’ll get to tour the Princeton University campus), Easton, Trenton, and Bethlehem. You’ll ride across the Delaware River where George Washington made his historic crossing during the American Revolution and see 18th century farmhouses, granaries and barns along this scenic route.
