The Lackawanna River Heritage Trail is a 70-mile multi-use trail system stretching through Lackawanna County that provides excellent access for paddlers and anglers, with multiple designated public boat launch and kayak access points including Sweeney's Beach and Parker Street Landing in Scranton, both offering parking and gravel bars for safe launches.

The trail parallels the Lackawanna River, recognized as an Exceptional Value Watershed with Class A Wild Trout Waters, and connects over 30 communities with various trailheads, amenities, and recreational facilities along its route from Pittston to the New York border.
