Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor

This 165-mile long National Heritage Area in eastern Pennsylvania winds through the Pocono Mountains across five counties and over one hundred municipalities. The corridor offers exquisite sightseeing along historic railroads and scenic rivers from the anthracite coal mines near Wilkes-Barre down to Philadelphia. The spine of the corridor is the Delaware and Lehigh Trail (D&L), a 140-mile biking trail that was once a bustling transportation system for the region, including for Native American tribes such as the Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Leni Lenape. Many of the original Native American villages drew European settlers to the area. Today the Corridor contains more than 100,000 acres of public lands for outdoor recreation, including many state, county, and local parks.
