The Basics: This recently-resurfaced section connects new trailheads at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center and in Slatington. At the northern trailhead, the Appalachian Trail intersects the D&L Trail, providing additional hiking opportunities. In Slatington, visit the local pizza joint, buy sodas and snacks, or take a side trip up the Slate Heritage Trail.
The Details: The cinder trail surface is in excellent condition for walking and biking. In Slatington, the new Slate Heritage Trail meets the D&L and extends along 3.3 miles of Trout Creek. To continue south on the D&L Trail, cross the Main Street bridge to Walnutport. Currently in the planning stages is a new section of trail to connect Slatington with Laurys Station to the south.
