Welcome to the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, including the D&H Rail-Trail.
The Lackawanna River Heritage Trail is a storied route that stretches more than 70 miles, passing through the heart of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley National and State Heritage Area. The Lackawanna Heritage Valley is located amid the mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania where the waters of the Lackawanna River flow.
The trail is an artery that connects more than 30 communities through Luzerne, Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wayne County. The trail also reaches into the heart and soul of the place that is known for its friendly people, rich cultural traditions, delicious ethnic foods and magnificent natural resources. The Valley is dotted with vestiges of a great industrial past, authentic historic sites, beautiful civic, religious and residential architecture, notable educational institutions and a special sense of community. This is a place with a unique personality that sets it apart.
