Junction and Breakwater Trail
Six-mile rail-trail between Rehoboth and Lewes, mostly shaded
About this park
A flat 6-mile rail-trail between Rehoboth and Lewes, with the Wolfe Neck lot the most popular access for dog walks. The mid-section runs through woods and old fields with consistent shade; the Lewes end opens up into housing development with little tree cover. Mostly packed gravel, paved closer to Lewes.

What visitors consistently sayReviewers praise the shade and the safety of an off-road path, especially compared with riding the streets in Dewey or Rehoboth. The mid-trail woods stretch is the consistent favorite for both walkers and cyclists.

Before you go
Start from the Wolfe Neck lot to skip the exposed housing-tract section near Lewes. Carry water: the on-site restrooms get rough reviews and there are no fountains until you reach the Wawa at the trail end.
