D&R Canal Trek Samples Local History and Local Ice Cream


Our Trekkers had a great second day along the D&R Canal! The first bit of the trail was a little rocky, but the path smoothed out into a finer gravel, making the kids' ride much smoother.

Along the trail, they saw several old shipping locks and the bridge that George Washington crossed after the battles of Trenton and Princeton in the days of the American Revolution. We emerged from the wooded trail near Princeton and biked through the town.



In town we met up with Caroline, one of the Trekkers from a New England Shore Trek leader Dana led earlier this summer.  Caroline took the group to a sweet ice cream shop, and then everyone rode through Princeton University's beautiful campus before heading to the hotel for the evening.
