Confirmed from D&L Trail - North Catasauqua 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.

“They did a great job clearing it out and making it very beautiful and seeing the Lehigh clearly without having to climb through a bunch of overgrowth.”

Nobody knows this trailhead is open yet. Nice and clean and plenty of parking. Has a port a potty on site.

★★★★★ — Roy , Nov 2022

They did a great job clearing it out and making it very beautiful and seeing the Lehigh clearly without having to climb through a bunch of overgrowth. Definitely a nice walking trail as seeing the Lehigh River as you're walking is always a plus

★★★★★ — Gillian , Nov 2022

Going north is fine. Going south towards Catasauqua is a nightmare. Trail is open but not improved. Lots of poison hemlock seen so close to the narrow trail you will contact it.

★★★★☆ — Mark , Sep 2023

This is a super fun trail. It’s not flat and paved like other ones in the area, but definitely a nice fun trial that gets you places pretty quickly.

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.
