Middleburg Road Pedestrian Crossing – Construction Phase
Construction of the trail components has begun. Trail portion will be completed after railroad improvements are made. D&L thanks PA Department of Transportation, Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, and PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for their continued cooperation on this project.

Part of the locally known Black Diamond Section, named after Anthracite coal’s nickname – “black diamonds”, this trail section passes ponds, bogs and towering trees providing a good wildlife viewing section. Approximately 9 miles from Black Diamond Trailhead going south is improved trail. The final distance into White Haven is a little more rough surface.
Please exercise caution when crossing Middleburg Road. Also, we suggest wearing orange during hunting seasons due to State Game Lands adjacent to the trail through this section. Please see the PDF maps below for obstruction detour information.
