Confirmed from D&L Trail - Cementon Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Paved, unpaved, gravel trail for walking and biking, plus picnic tables and river views.
What runners say about D&L Trail - Cementon Trailhead
“2024 and they still need more spaces :) it's beautiful here, I recommend riding all the way north through Lehigh Gap Nature Center.”
“The D&L trail to Slatington is in good condition and very shady, so it was a great place to ride on a hot summer day”
“Clearly marked mile markers, so you can plan how far you want to go.”
Parking lot was full, and there is roadwork across the street from the entrance as of July 2023. The D&L trail to Slatington is in good condition and very shady, so it was a great place to ride on a hot summer day
Full of site seeing and lots of shade to enjoy walking, jogging and riding your bike. I highly recommend this trail
I rode my bike from Cementon to Slatington and back along the D&L trail. The trail was easy and flat along the way. There were a lot of interesting sites along the way. The signs were good and explained the history of the former Railway and Canal.
This is a beautiful ride along the river. It’s also a great walking trail fly and easy if you choose to go all the way up to Slatington and it’s about a 10 mile ride and so worth it.
