Settlement patterns, from Native Americans to today’s immigrants, continue to change the scenic tapestry known as the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and State Heritage Park. It began with the magnificent scenery and the widest range of natural resources found anywhere in the world. Abundance of natural resources changed the landscape, forever, yet nature prevailed in many places, erasing signs of industry and even communities that once existed. Unsurpassed recreational opportunities lead one through bucolic countrysides, rugged mountains and lush valleys as well as through communities filled with over 50 types of ethnic flavor.

We invite you to explore the diverisfied heritage which began the Industrial Revolution, enjoy an array of recreational opportunies, discover breath taking views and visit the D&L Trail that links many of the attractions together. Enjoy ethnic and musical celebrations, walking tours through communities with rich and colorful histories, and museums describing the industries, people and wildlife that share this special place.
