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.[1] 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.
