Confirmed from D&L Trail White Haven North 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.
Hiking and biking paths stretch for miles along the Lehigh River, with picnic tables.
What runners say about D&L Trail White Haven North Trailhead
“Surprisingly, easy grade up, maybe 2% , well maintained rail trail passing mountain lakes and a few old railroad structures, great scenic ride, even better in autumn.”
“This rail trail has amazing views, a beautiful lake and awesome picnicking spots where the whole family is offered a great, first, Poconos Mountain Biking experience.”
One of the best sections of the D&L is white Haven to Jim Thorpe. The trail is normally in good shape, scenic views, a canal lock to explore that's not far off the trail and a few waterfalls. Round trip from WH to JT and back is around 40-45 miles
I just absolutely love this trail for a short ride or a long ride never disappoints
The D & L Black Diamond Trail, Glen Summit to White Haven, 10 miles departs from this parking lot and trailhead. This rail trail has amazing views, a beautiful lake and awesome picnicking spots where the whole family is offered a great, first, Poconos Mountain Biking experience.
Great ride especially when the rhododendron are in bloom. Excellent trail conditions and not crowded on a Saturday midday.
