D&L Trail South partially opened Story and photos by Ruth Isenberg Approximately a half mile of the D&L Trail South was reopened to the public on Friday. The portion of the trail between White Haven and Lehigh Tannery remains closed until spring due to the need to replace the bridge over Linesville Creek. The trail between Tannery, Rockport and Jim Thorpe is open. From the White Haven Shopping Plaza, trail visitors can access the new restrooms facilities (top photo), and the public boat launch (middle photo), and parking areas. The bike trail from south Main Street is also open. The road and trail stop now at the railroad underpass (bottom photo). Not open yet are the new access road from Route 940 or the commercial boat launch. Work will continue through the winter. Lehigh Gorge State Park operations manager Rex Bradish promises a spring ribboncutting for the completed project.
