When settlers first arrived and established homesteads along the west side of Black Creek, they noticed abundant white pine, hemlock, white and red oak, beech and sugar maple trees. Two sawmills opened in Weatherly in 1825 to process wood used for everything from railroad ties, to fuel for locomotives, to barges for the Lehigh Canal.

The Beaver Meadows Railroad, formed to carry anthracite, opened their work and repair shops in Weatherly in the winter of 1839-40 because engines couldn’t negotiate the difficult terrain and planes to reach nearby Beaver Meadows. The facilities consisted of a machine shop that built and maintained the engines, as well as a pattern shop.

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.
