We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park Trail - Demott Ln yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess.

There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

About 8 parking spaces close to bridge. Good starting point for running, cycling and walking. Besides the bridge, it is a good launching point for kayaking.
very good trail and beatiful scenery. Perfect for running and getting an exercise in.
We love coming here for family walks. It’s packed gravel/sand which is good for bikes. Not ideal for scooters.
