D&L Discoverer

Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage

About this app

Explore history and the D&L Trail in the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. This app brings the stories from the National Canal Museum to the D&L Trail in the places that they happened. Learn more about trails, towns, history, and local businesses in the 5 county area in Eastern Pennsylvania. Plus there are tours about specific topics like geology, Audubon visiting the area, and other important historic elements that tell the nationally significant story about how America's industrial revolution was fueled by coal transported by canals and railroads.

Ratings and reviews

Neat app for those that use the D&L Trail and want to know more, but it has some annoying technical issues. First and worst, this is an app that uses the "small app store download then a relatively huge in-app download at first launch (~200MB)" design pattern to make updates "easier." For outdoors/hiking-oriented apps, this is super annoying as the cellular connection is almost always slower than WiFi, and you might not think to open the app at home before heading out to the trail.

Love this app since I'm on the trail daily.
