The Basics: This section follows a former railroad bed between the East Penn Boat Launch and a new trailhead at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Users enjoy views of the Lehigh River and the steep slopes of the Kittatinny Ridge, as well as bog and pond habitat and plenty of wildlife. The Lehigh Gap Nature Center is the site of an innovative restoration project to return a Superfund site to a thriving native plant ecosystem. The Center also maintains a network of mountainside footpaths that link the D&L Trail to the ridge-running Appalachian Trail.
The Details: The trail is currently under construction and will be completed in Summer 2011. Please check back for date of opening.
