Lehigh Gorge Trail

Much of the trail runs through the Lehigh Gorge State Park, and was originally developed into a railroad corridor after an extension of the Lehigh Canal was first built under the great push of Main Line of Public Works to connect the Delaware Valley to Pittsburgh.

The Lehigh Gorge Trail has a fine crushed stone surface suitable for hiking and cycling.

The 25-mile (40 km) downhill grade from White Haven to Jim Thorpe makes the trail popular with cyclists who use various shuttle services from the Jim Thorpe area to reach the White Haven trail head, for an easy "downhill" pedal.

[2] The trail has three primary trailheads, the White Haven and Glen Onoko terminuses and a midway access point in Rockport.

Prior to the railroad, the Lehigh Canal ran along much of the same route, and many of the original stone locks are still intact and visible from the trail.
