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.
What runners say about D&L Trail - North Catasauqua Trailhead
“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.
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
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.
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.
