An incredible display of 19th century hydropower surrounds you, including dams, spillways, canals, the remains of gunpowder mills, and waterwheels and turbines that are still operational. Unfortunately the Hagley people are pretty paranoid so pull over in these beautiful surroundings at your own risk. Continue into Wilmington and take out at Market St. downtown. About half of the dams on this section are sloping and runnable, the rest are vertical and dangerous. Maryland and Delaware Canoe Trails , Ed Gertler can give you further information about this reach.
