Confirmed from D&L Trail - Cove Road 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Not the most scenic place to access the D&L trail.”

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“Trail is packed crush stone along the Lehigh river that is easy to navigate, primality flat, tree lined to help cool off on hot days.”

The D & L is a GREAT series of trails for walking, jogging or riding a bike. Beautiful scenery. Depending, there are shaded areas and sunny areas. Some have very welcome port-a-potties at a trailhead. Snow removal depends on the trail. Always plenty of free parking.

★★★★★ — Allen , Jan 2024

Not the most scenic place to access the D&L trail. Has plenty of parking, there is 2 other lots it can get really busy on hot days with everyone going tubing down the river. I like to go "North" on the trail (towards Walnutport) then you can visit the old dam and there is a picnic table. apx 1/2 mile.

★★★★☆ — Sushi , Jun 2022

Highly recommended! Started my bike ride here up to Slatington that is a five miles distance north. Trail is packed crush stone along the Lehigh river that is easy to navigate, primality flat, tree lined to help cool off on hot days.

★★★★★ — Jack , Aug 2024

Good access point for the D&L trail. Plenty of parking, but hot summer weekends are quite crowded because of people accessing the Lehigh River. The section of the trail going North (upriver) from here is very pretty.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
