Hiking Feet

Hike D&L Trail-Lehigh Gap

This trail runs from the Osprey House along the Lehigh River to Riverview Road at the western edge of the refuge. The D&L Trail gets its name from the old Delaware & Lehigh Canals that paralleled the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers and is part of the 165-mile Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Trail running from Bristol (near Philadelphia) to Wilkes-Barre. The D&LTrail connects the refuge system to many other trails including the Slate Heritage Trail in Slatington and the Walnutport Canal Towpath. The D&L Trail borders the riparian habitat along the Lehigh River and is rich with flowing springs and microhabitats along its 2.5 stretch on the refuge. Watch for various sparrows and many different spring and fall migrants and for Common Mergansers and other water birds on the Lehigh River. The western end of the D&L Trail in the refuge includes ponds and surrounding habitat which provide excellent warbler and other migrant songbird observations in the spring. (2.75 miles, level)

All are invited and welcomed, each individual must register separately, children must be accompanied by an adult. Hike leaves promptly at 12pm.
