The proposed trail — part of the college’s master plan — was announced after Lafayette received a $75,000 grant from Northampton County in 2024. When complete, the trail will connect Lafayette’s main campus to its athletics campus and LaFarm, as well as improve access to Easton retailers. Oliver Kiley, a landscape architect and principal with developer SmithGroup, said the trail will be “multi-functional” in the Easton area. The college’s project manager, Lauren Daniels, said the project is currently gathering public input and data, and exploring possible routes the trail may take.
