Our Growing Trail System—By the Numbers
 Besides scenic miles of natural trails in county and state parks, the Luzerne County out-of-park trail system has been in development for over 15 years.

Open trails include:
- 35 miles of multi-use (rail-trail type) trails including over five miles of the 20 mile Lehigh Gorge trail in Lehigh Gorge State Park.. This mileage also includes approximately 12 miles of asphalt trail on top of the Susquehanna River Levee System. Surfacing for the other open multi-use trails—the Back Mountain Trail, Susquehanna Warrior Trail, Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails, and Luzerne County National Recreation Trail, is modified gravel.
- 1.5 miles of town heritage trails/sidewalk improvements and 17 miles of Riverfront and out-of-park hiking and mountain biking trails.
Approximately 105 additional miles of multi-use trail or in-town trail system have been planned, of which 11.3 miles are near, or under construction (estimated start 2008 or 2009). Trails near or under construction include the Back Mountain Trail, the Black Diamond Trail, the Levee trail system in Wilkes-Barre’s Riverfront Park, and the Ashley Planes Heritage Trail.
