If you are biking, walking, or running on the D&L Trail one thing is certain- that you are going to be hungry afterwards! So finding great places along the D&L Trail to eat is another fun way to explore the local culture.
Luckily, right up the street from the Slatington Trailhead is Charlotte Fay’s Main Street Diner, a D&L Trail Friendly Business! And with Slatington having a multitude of trails (D&L, Slate Heritage, Lehigh River, and the nearby Appalachian Trail) it’s a good thing that a great diner like Charlotte Fay’s is nearby. An awesome spot for breakfast or lunch before or after exploring the local trails, the diner has home style cooking with lots of unique items on the menu. The trail friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable local staff complement the Americana themed décor and make this a must-see location on your visit to Slatington.
Moreover, owner Jason Ruff is a supporter of trails on borough council and as a volunteer on the Slatington D&L Trail Towns Steering Committee. On weekends during the trail season, Charlotte Fay’s Main Street Diner has coupons at the Slatington Trailhead Visitor Center. So grab a coupon, bike on up, use the new bike rack, and enjoy a great meal!
The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is more than trails and landmarks—it’s a living landscape where history, culture, and community come together.
These treasures can’t protect themselves. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, your year-end gift will help us safeguard this remarkable region and create new opportunities for connection and discovery.
