How are you coming south along the river? If you are taking Rt. 29 from Frenchtown, it loses the shoulders at Prallsville Mills about 3-1/2 miles north of Lambertville. I sometimes continue on to Lambertville on Rt. 29, but pretty much only on Sundays when there are no trucks. Otherwise I get on the tow path.

Thanks Ed, sounds like the tow path is the way to go, will definitely bring a print out, I checked it out on the satellite view and it does look tricky in Trenton. I'll probably be on my road bike with 23's but I've ridden on towpaths with fine gravel before without a problem. And yeah I plan to be coming down 29 from Frenchtown, and probably not on Sunday, so will def'ly switch over to the tow path at that point.
