The Lackawanna River Heritage Trail is a multi-use trail that follows the Lackawanna River for forty miles in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The trail is developed and managed by the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, a municipal government arm of Lackawanna County, and is part of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley National and State Heritage Area. The trail begins at the river’s confluence with the S

usquehanna River at Duryea and Pittston in Luzerne County, travels through Lackawanna County and joins the Delaware and Hudson (D&H) Rail-Trail in Simpson. From that point, the D&H Rail-Trail extends north to the New York State border. With more than 230,000 annual visits, the trail is a wonderful community asset. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the changing seasons through a host of healthy activities such as walking, jogging, biking, nature watching, dog walking, stretching and strength training.

🚲 A Lasting Tribute Along the Trail

The Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority extends its sincere gratitude to Ron and Christine Ryczak, former members of Mayfield Borough Council, for their dedication and generosity in completing the bike repair station at the Mayfield Recreation Area along the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail.

This valuable amenity provides cyclists with a convenient place to make basic repairs, helping to keep trail users safe and moving throughout their journey.

The project also serves as a heartfelt tribute to the memory of Mayfield Councilwoman Kristy M. Ryczak (1979–2017), whose commitment to her community continues to be remembered and appreciated.

Partnerships like these help make the Heritage Trail a better place for residents and visitors alike. We are grateful to Ron and Christine for their vision, leadership, and continued support of outdoor recreation in the Lackawanna Valley.

Thank you for helping strengthen our trail and honor a legacy of community service. 💙

Blast from the Present and the Past - A Very appropriate tribute to a former member of Mayfield Borough!
