The D & R Canal stands for the @ Delaware and Raritan rivers. The canal was built by hand by Irish immigrants and completed in 1834. Coal from Pennsylvania was carried by mule drawn canal boats. The trail of packed limestone was easy to navigate through until the end. Our 50 mile ride was very complicated after leaving the trail. At one point we thought we were lost and almost entered the New Jersey turnpike as well as the Garden State parkway, both off of route 514. At the end of the day, all the riders were safe.
