I didn’t see any signs in Northampton/Allentown 3 years ago when I rode from White Haven to Easton during a week long tour across PA. In fact, I believe the website said you are on your own. Probably a liability issue. Not the most pleasant area to ride through. There is a thread in the Mid-Atlantic forum where I describe the route I took and the route I should have taken that would have required a bit of riding the wrong way on a one-way street that looks like it would be safe.

At least the new bridge in Jim Thorpe is open. It wasn’t back in 2017. Added a lot more climbing to that day to pick up the trail again in Bowmanstown.

And I believe the restrooms at the Rockport trailhead south of White Haven were open last month. Lots of people assemble there for rafting, etc. Thought I saw people coming out of them, though maybe they had just checked the doors.

There is a grocery store and a RiteAid in White Haven for water. There is also a c-store/gas station up the hill to the west and one on U.S. 209 near the old CNJ train station in Jim Thorpe.

Edit: Just checked the web site. You should click on the individual trail sections, especially starting at Northampton and heading south, for updates.
