In November, I joined the Wilmington Trail Club's Hike Across Delaware, which crosses the entire width of Delaware along the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal trail. It does sound impressive to walk across an entire state in one day, but at 15 flat miles, it's the easiest state you'll ever hike across.
The event is well organized, with a bus taking hikers to the starting point in Maryland. There are plenty of restrooms along the way, snacks at mile 10, and a souvenir bandana.
This is not a hike for the heat of summer, being very open, but it is scenic. Nearly all of it hugs the surprisingly wide canal, and for most of the hike, the canal is in view.
I have now walked across two states; this was considerably easier than traversing Vermont on the Long Trail!
