Easton

Downtown Easton, PA, a thriving town along the D&L Trail

Located at what the Lenni Lenape Indians knew as the “Forks of the Delaware,” the city of Easton sits on the banks where the Lehigh and Delaware rivers merge – as it has since the mid-1700s when the frontier town was laid out by William Penn.

Like other cities designed by Penn, the town’s focal point was, and still is, a large central square. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence outside of Philadelphia took place in Eason’s Centre Square in 1776.

The best place to begin a journey into Easton’s past is Centre Square, where you will find the Crayola Experience and the oldest continually running open-air Farmer’s Market in the United States–just two blocks south of U.S. 22. Other attractions include historic walking tours, concert and theater productions performed by nationally acclaimed stars, horse-drawn carriage rides and plenty of art galleries nestled within the confines of Easton’s history.

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.
