D&L Trail Town Amenity Projects Overview 

Trail users want more than trails!  Having different amenities along the D&L Trail, in town, or at trailheads goes a long way to create a trail friendly atmosphere and increase the popularity of the trail. 

DLNHC is offering project funding for amenities that directly benefit trail users.  For trail users to fully enjoy and use trails there are other related infrastructure that are critically important.  While not every landowner, section, or trailhead can have everything, making the efforts to provide the trail related amenities that people want greatly enhances the trail friendly atmosphere and encourages more people to visit trails and explore the communities that surround them.  Make sure to focus on amenities that follow these universal design principles and are available for all trail users.
