TRAIL SAFETY

JACK A. MARKELL TRAIL COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE

Named after Delaware’s 73rd governor, the

Jack A. Markell Trail connects the cities of

Wilmington and New Castle. The trail begins at

the DuPont Environmental Education Center,

crosses the Christina River on a newly constructed

pedestrian and bicycle bridge, and incorporates the

Industrial Track and Heritage trails. Together with

the Wilmington Riverwalk, it offers nearly 7 miles

of pathway. On the back of this piece, you will find

trail lengths, entry points, and local destinations.

JACK A. MARKELL TRAIL

INDUSTRIAL TRACK TRAIL

HERITAGE TRAIL

It’s important to discuss safety with walkers,

runners, and bikers, as there are two roadway

crossings on the trail.

• Use caution when crossing roadways.

• Be aware of surroundings.

• Helmets are suggested for all bicyclists, and

required by law for those under the age of 18.

A version of the logo without the arrows is available upon request. It’s to be used only on trail signage.
