Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails

An ok trail. Nice parking. No restrooms. Tree-lined. Crushed stone. Watch out for the BEARS! Saw one on the trail. Bring bug spray!

D&H Rail Trail

I've ridden the trail from Simpson to Buck's Falls which is outside of Starrucca. The trail is well groomed until you hit the other side of Ararat. Then you run into ballast stone and coal silt. No ballast stone or coal silt from Simpson to Ararat.

A fairly easy ride with wonderful scenery and an abundance of entry points along the trail.

Joseph M. McDade Recreational Trail

has potential to one of the best trails in mid Atlantic

May, 2025 by edmunter

Parts of this trail are incredible. You feel like an early pioneer venturing out beyond the frontier. You are stunned by the natural beauty of the Delaware river. You imagine the grinding of receding glaciers that carved this beauty. You hear the echos of an earlier time. The forest is dense, lush and alive. Groundhogs greet you. Birdsong awaits you. Locals are friendly However parts are hellish if you’re attempting to bike it. Even hiking the bike is dicey and dangerous. Our ortlieb saddle bags fell into the Delaware river at one point. We managed to fish them out by some kind of aquatic miracle It’s also full of Lyme disease carrying ticks so watch out The trail need a make over Any billionaires out there who have a spare penny to repair it, please help!

D&L Trail

Rough Ride not like previous outings

March, 2025 by haldemanjoseph

We rode from the Cementon trailhead out 10 miles to Slatington and back on March 19, 2025 and were disappointed in the conditions of the trail. Encountered large stones throughout the ride unlike the crushed stone base we experienced in previous rides in the spring of 24 and fall of 22. It was if someone maintaining the trail deposited large ballast rocks all along the trail surface really impacting the surface normally smooth ride. Also had to navigate many miles of bumpy tire tracks.

D&L Trail

Trail Completion

November, 2024 by mdneveling

I love the D&L and ride it often. I’m trying to finish the entire trail and went to complete the northern most section from White Haven to Mountain Top. Unfortunately, about a mile in the amount of downed trees becomes too much (must have been from a storm). I fought through it and walked my bike but it was arduous. Around 4 miles north there was an area with multiple downed trees over the path. It was impassable so I turned around and fought my way back. I’m sad that I’ll have to wait until it’s cleared (hopefully in the spring).

Don't Waste Your Time

November, 2024 by chrisseier

There were a few short sections where the scenery and surface were nice. However, most of the trail is loud, not scenic and VERY rough.

D&H Rail Trail

Some of it is very nice, and some of is VERY rough

September, 2024 by chrisseier

Started in Simpson and headed north. The first 12 miles is very nice, except for the occasional noise from the ATV trail nearby. The next eight miles is a little rough, but not too bad. Then a mile of the trail was very soft, like they were working on the trail. After that, it becomes VERY rough - riding on balast. Some very nice scenery; has the potential to be a great trail - if they ever finish cindering the full length of the trail.
