Things to do in New Hope for the outdoor enthusiast!

Biking, Hiking, Walking and Running

Biking, Hiking, Walking and Running is fabulous here! If you like flat, smooth, shady biking, try the towpath which goes for some 40 miles along the Delaware River in New Jersey. It’s just down the hill from the inn. More trails await you across the river in Pennsylvania.

If you like hills and scenic countryside, there are routes right from our New Hope bed and breakfast that take you along streams, over a covered bridge and along grand ridges with views of rolling farmland in every direction. We will be glad to help you plan your route. You can also check out www.bikehunterdon.org for more information.

For a special, customized bike tour with an expert guide of nearby historic and cultural venues, we are pleased to partner with Encore Rides who specialize in unique ways to experience the sights of Bucks County PA and Hunterdon County NJ. Encore Historic Guided Rides

A great trail for walking or running, the Delaware River towpath goes for some 40 miles along the river. You can walk from the Inn to the towpath and then to center-city Stockton (left on towpath) or visit Prallsville Mills (right on towpath) and continue all the way to Bulls Island State Park if you like.

“Sidewalk strolling” is great both in Lambertville and across the bridge in New Hope. Frenchtown, NJ is another great river town to explore on foot just about 10 miles north.

Outdoor enthusiasts might wish to hike along the cliffs in Ralph Stover State Park near Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania (about 5 miles north) for beautiful creek and valley views, or visit Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, 2 1/2 miles south of New Hope. It offers walking on 26 trails through 100 acres of woods and meadows.
