The trail is slightly south of Tamaqua on Dairy Road. Dairy Road is directly across Rt. 443 at the intersection of Rt. 443 and Rt. 309. Here is a map to show it better.

When you get on Dairy Road, right as you pass the TLC Convenience Store on the right, the trail will be about 500 feet on the left. Right before the Lehigh and New England Trail is a paved area on the left where you can park. Its flat and paved, but not very large. You may want to go past the area and turn around so you are parking correctly and facing the proper way.
The trail is marked with a red pole or stake at the beginning which is viewable from the road or where you park. From Dairy Road, the trail starts with a slight hill going upwards. Once you go up the little hill, the trail is flat. The trail is about as wide as a vehicle. Although, the trail pretty much runs along Rt. 309, it is hidden by a dense amount of trees and makes for a great hiking or biking adventure.
Here are some pictures to give you a better look of the Lehigh and New England Trail in Tamaqua, PA.

There is one major problem for people who do not live in Tamaqua and wish to use the trail; THERE IS NO parking. Towing fees apply even if the car is park off the road.
