Confirmed from D&L Trailhead (Slatington)'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.

“It’s scenic, peaceful, and suitable for all skill levels.”
Epic bike ride along D&L trail from Slatington parking area. Ride along the amazing engineered former rail line that hauled coal and cement from this historic area.
I rode my bike from Slatington to the West Bowman area. It was very scenic and interesting. I also enjoyed the Kittatinny arboretum and the Nature Center along the route.
Green, restful area with public bathrooms for those walking the trails. Often has small outdoor events.
Pros: Peaceful, quiet. Serene. Came across an abandoned airfield. In the distance you can see where I went the Saturday before. We saw several different birds, Cardinals, Blue Jays, possibly an Eagle. Not an expert, but it was massive and not a hawk. We parked across Sal's Pizza. Mmm. The smell.
