The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, the Borough of Freemansburg, and the Bethlehem Area School District partnered to create the Freemansburg Canal Education Center (FCEC) at the Lock 44 canal complex in Freemansburg.

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is training volunteers to develop, interpret and maintain Freemansburg’s historic Lock 44 canal area. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities for students and adults, clubs and organizations. Lock 44 is a Bethlehem Area School District-approved community service site. You can help with events and activities ranging from student field trips to weekend tours to equipment maintenance and repair

If you or someone you know can offer support, please get in touch with Dennis Scholl at 610-923-3548 x225 or [email protected].

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.
