Due to a rock slide between Jim Thorpe and Lehigh Gorge State Park, park rangers and county officials have temporarily closed a section of the D&L Trail as a safety precaution.
Closure Limits:
Nesquehoning Trestle near Mile Marker 107.5 to Mile Marker 108.4 (Glen Onoko)
Please respect all posted closure signs and avoid entering the closed section until further notice.
To access the section of trail, use the Lehigh Gorge State Park – Glen Onoko Access parking or the Carbon County parking lot (paid) behind the train station in Jim Thorpe. The northern end of this section runs parallel to the Glen Onoko access road before crossing the Lehigh River on a pedestrian bridge. The southern end of this section runs through the Carbon County parking lot. Please use extreme caution when cycling or walking through the parking lot and access road.
This section of the D&L Trail links downtown Jim Thorpe with Lehigh Gorge State Park to the north via the Nesquehoning Trestle. The towering trestle provides stunning views as it crosses the Lehigh River below. Grab coffee, snacks, lunch or a glass of wine in downtown Jim Thorpe. The Glen Onoko Trailhead and Jim Thorpe Trailhead are both also Lehigh River Water Trail access points. Please refer to Wildlands Conservancy’s Lehigh River Water Trail website for more information on trips along the water trail.
