I was looking for a new route to/from work in anticipation of major flooding along my commute. I ended up taking an actual bike path. It was along the remnants of the old Morris Canal. There were backyards on either side, but the canal was still visible, and the towpath was the bike path. It was even paved and plowed and had signs and benches. I had passed this literally 200 some times and never checked it out before.
