The D&L Trail is one of Pennsylvania’s most significant outdoor corridors, stretching 165 miles through five counties and connecting communities along the historic canal and rail routes that once fueled the American Industrial Revolution. To understand the impact of the trail today, we visited Hugh Moore Park in Easton, Pennsylvania, home of the National Canal Museum and one of the most historically rich sections of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience the Lehigh Valley in its full autumn glory, the St. Luke’s D&L RaceFest is the way to do it. The D&L Trail winds through wooded paths, river views, and historic towns that turn brilliant shades of gold and red in early November. It’s one of those courses where the scenery almost makes you forget you’re racing. Almost.
The Lehigh Valley is way more connected than you think, and that’s just via the trails.
We are joined by Claire Sadler, Deputy Director, Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc. and Brian Greene, D&L Director of Trails & Conservation about THE LINK Trail Network, it’s economic impact on the Lehigh Valley, how you can use it to get to work, and why it’s a really big deal not just to those who are into the outdoors.
The aim of this podcast is to connect you to stories and personalities living in or affecting the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, encompassing the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton and many other wonderful communities in-between.
We talk to business owners, musicians, authors, students, politicians, and maybe even you.
