After hiking across the state of Maryland on the Appalachian Trail via a series of section hikes in 2022, I started eyeing if there were any other states I could reasonably cross on foot again.
Since I live in Maryland, I started by researching other states around me and found that there is a trail that runs across the state of Delaware. The trail starts in Chesapeake City, Maryland as the Ben Cardin C&D Canal Trail and then once it crosses into Delaware changes names to the Michael Castle Trail, ending in Delaware City, Delaware.
You can find the AllTrails map for this walk here.
