There is currently a gap in the trail between the Mountain Top Trailhead and Black Diamond Trailhead. About 1 mile is complete  from the Mountain Top Trailhead going south before encountering the gap. From the Black Diamond Trailhead, you can currently only go south on the D&L Trail. Please wear orange to be safe on the trail during hunting season due to Bureau of Forestry land adjacent to the trail through this section.

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.
