Things to Do

Trail Section: Palmer Riverview – Hugh Moore Park

Status: Complete, open and improved

Distance: 0.7

Please be sure to stop and dismount bikes at both the Lehigh Drive crossings and walk your bikes across the iron bridge into Hugh Moore Park for safety. For trailhead parking, cross the bridge to the Hugh Moore Park side of the river, descend the small hill, and find the trailhead parking immediately to the left. For National Canal Museum or general Hugh Moore Park parking, continue down the park access road to the large main lot on the left. 

This short paved section of D&L Trail crosses Lehigh Drive twice and takes you across the Lehigh River into Hugh Moore Park. The Hugh Moore Park Trailhead is also near a Lehigh River Water Trail access point. Please refer to Wildlands Conservancy’s Lehigh River Water Trail website for more information on trips along the water trail.

Thank you for visiting the D&L Trail Interactive Map.

Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) is a nonprofit organization that convenes over 30 local landowners that build and maintain the trail from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol.

Please Note: if there is an obstruction within a trail section the entire trail section will be noted as “obstructed”. Be sure to read the description of each trail section to learn the extent of the obstruction and how it may impact your trip. The information on this map is updated with information provided by landowners. An update will remain posted until the landowner confirms it is no longer relevant.

When on the trail you are in a public space and natural area, and you may encounter a range of wildlife, plants, and people. There are unhoused individuals along sections of the D&L Trail that travel through heavily populated areas. The perception of safety is different for each trail user – please stay alert and plan accordingly for your personal comfort level. For more information visit our Plan Your Trip page.
