Junction and Breakwater Trail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Junction and Breakwater Trail is a 3.9-mile-long rail trail located on the southwestern side of Cape Henlopen State Park at Wolfe Neck, midway between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It is Delaware’s third and longest rail-trail in the state. It follows the former Penn Central Rail Line that once transported passengers to the many Methodist resort camps along the Atlantic coast.

The trail includes an 80-foot long railroad bridge originally built in 1913 that crosses Holland Glade and provides views of coastal wetlands and of a World War II observation tower located on the coast. A future phase will extend the trail to Lewes.
