Things to Do

Trail Section: Hugh Moore Park – Forks of the Delaware

Status: Complete, open and improved

Distance: 2.3

There is a small trail network within Hugh Moore Park that allows for a few small loops.  If you travel on the National Canal Museum Spur Trail please dismount your bikes when the signs advising the mules are working are displayed. To continue on the D&L Trail, you need to follow the canal towpath across the bridge at Lock 47 and continue toward the Delaware River and Forks of the Delaware Trailhead. As you approach the Forks of the Delaware a spectacular convergence of railroads, canals and rivers will appear. Continue aside the trailhead parking lot and cross the canal bridge to continue south along the Delaware Canal.

The Hugh Moore Park Trailhead is also near a Lehigh River Water Trail access point and Forks of the Delaware Trailhead is across the Lehigh River from a water trail access point. Please refer to Wildlands Conservancy’s Lehigh River Water Trail website for more information on trips along the water trail.

Adjacent Trails

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.
