Confirmed from D&L Trail - River Dr 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.
Groomed trail for walkers and bikers, with river views and dog parks.
What runners say about D&L Trail - River Dr Trailhead
“What an incredible Rail Trail the township did a beautiful job preserving the history and flavor of this Old Railway.”
What an incredible Rail Trail the township did a beautiful job preserving the history and flavor of this Old Railway. I will be visiting often now that I know about this place.
I love the D and L trail. More than 100 non-continuous miles of no traffic trail to run, walk, bike and hike on. I would give it 5 stars if it were actually continuous. From Cementon to lehighton and from Allentown canal park all the way to Easton you're good to go.
This is nice section of the trail many scenic views of the Lehigh River. Great for running, biking, or just a good walk. Keep in mind parking is very limited at this trailhead.( Maybe 5 or 6 cars). However only a mile up the road is the cove trailhead under the bridge with lots of parking.
Very nice paved trail with lots of trees and flowers on both sides. My one disappointment was that the trail was not close to the river most of the time, as it is in Bethlehem and Bethlehem Twp.
