Let’s Take a Walk Along the New D&L Trail: Closing the Northampton County Gap
Get Your Tail on the Trail is offering a free trail walking program this year. Vary up your exercise routine and meet new people, learn new things, and experience different areas of the D&L trail.
Let’s Take a Walk Along the New D&L Trail: Closing the Northampton County Gap. Join DLNHC Director of Trails & Conservation for a 3-mile round trip walk along the newly completed D&L Trail in Northampton and North Catasauqua Boroughs. During your walk, you will learn how the old Lehigh Canal Towpath was revitalized as the D&L Trail, take a look at innovative green infrastructure in the form of a living wall, check out a lock re-imagined as a pedestrian bridge, view a historic canal overflow, and note future plans for Lock 6 and a Feeder Gate.
Trail Leader: Liz Rosencrans, will be at the Northampton Canal Park entrance to the trail. 1300 Stewart St, Northampton, PA 1806 Saturday, July 8 @ 10 AM Meet in the parking lot across from the Hungarian Hall. Rain date July 9 @ 10 AM
Duration of Walk: 1.5- 2 hours
Although these trail walks are free, we do still ask that you sign up for them so that we can control the number of people walking. Walking with a group is fun, energizing and social; walking in a horde is not. We are limiting our walk to 30 people.
