About the Trail
The Henrietta Foundation developed and maintains a recreational multi-use trail along the existing but unused bed of the Lehigh Valley Railroad's north branch, which runs through the town of Henrietta, between Rush and Brighton. The trail is the result of the work of countless volunteers; many generous donations of land and rights of way; and federal, state, town and private grants. Now the trail is enjoyed by hikers, runners, skiers, bicyclists, birders, and families out for a relaxing and scenic stroll.
