June 7 is National Trails Day.
Metro
National Trails Day is Saturday, June 7, and you can celebrate at the Hootenanny on the D&L Trail in Wright Township.
This morning of music, nature and trail camaraderie will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Moosehead Lake on the D&L Trail.
Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) is hosting this “hike in, hike out” event, featuring the folk-rock duo The Pickups, performing canal- and river-inspired music. Trail-goers are invited to hike or bike to the event, enjoy live music and meet DLNHC representatives. Free trail snacks such as granola and fresh water will be available during the rest break.
Guests are encouraged to begin their journey at the White Haven Community Library, where DLNHC will also have a table at the White Haven Trout Festival. The library is a short walk from the White Haven North Trailhead (mile marker 130.5), where attendees can bike or hike 5.5 miles to Moosehead Lake (mile marker 136). Alternatively, guests can start at the Black Diamond Trailhead (mile marker 140) and hike or bike 4.78 miles south to the lake.
For those unable to complete the full round-trip, local public access points — such as the Middleburg Road Access Area (mile marker 132) or the State Game Lands off Tunnel Road — offer convenient alternatives.
Trail maps will be available at the DLNHC table. An interactive map is also available at delawareandlehigh.org/map.
