Overview

  • A scenic escape

    Connecting the lively towns of Yardley and New Hope, this nationally-recognized stretch of the D&L Trail is a superb location for an overnight trip using your bike. You'll wind through lush greenery of Delaware Canal State Park while catching exceptional views of the Delaware River. With plenty of options for an overnight stay, we recommend camping at local park or sleeping in the comfort of a historic B&B for a rewarding two day journey.

    Inspiring makers and vibrant culture

    Yardley, New Hope and the surrounding region are home to a bustling community of artists, brewers, chefs and other natural as well as historical attractions. From grabbing a bite on Main Street, to taking a break at an artist's gallery or wildflower preserve, there's no shortage of sites to explore. With so many places to discover, you'll be inspired to take more than one trip to this thriving region.

Rides

This route travels from Yardley Regional Rail Station in Yardley, PA, through New Hope, and then to camp sites in Point Pleasant, PA. Yardley is only an hour and a half from New York City and a 45-minute drive or a short train ride with your bike from Philadelphia. The train station is not far from the major roadways of 95 and 295.

Following the full route as an overnight camping experience, this is a 45-mile ride over two days. As a day trip to New Hope and back to Yardley, this is a 22-mile ride. If you spend the night in New Hope and return to Yardley the next day, you will ride 22 miles, total, over two days.

Most of this route is on the protected system of the D&L trail, which is a predominantly flat pathway of tightly packed gravel and stone. Depending on your preferred points of interest, there will be about 3-4 miles of riding on roadways with live traffic. One extended route option involves a half-mile on a road with no shoulder and a steep climb.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
