LEHIGH GORGE STATE PARK

Welcome to Lehigh valley State Park in eastern Pennsylvania, a natural wonderland known for its deep, steep-walled valley, rich vegetation, alluring rock outcroppings, and compelling waterfalls. This park, which spans 6,107 acres in the counties of Luzerne and Carbon, follows the Lehigh River's scenic course as it flows from the Francis E. Walter Dam in the north to the quaint community of Jim Thorpe in the south. Visitors are drawn to the park year-round by the variety of leisure options it offers.

Biking and whitewater rafting are well-liked activities for thrill-seekers because they provide exhilarating experiences among magnificent scenery. The ancient Delaware and Lehigh Trail is followed for more than 20 miles on the Lehigh Gorge Trail, which is a portion of the spectacular 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. There are several options for hiking, cycling, sightseeing, and photography as you explore the riverside abandoned railroad grade. You may fully enjoy the peacefulness of nature because motor vehicles are completely forbidden on the route in order to preserve the peaceful atmosphere.

Accessing the park is a breeze thanks to parking lots that are strategically placed at Glen Onoko, Rockport, and White Haven. The Lehigh Tannery, where parking is scarce, must be specifically mentioned as a location where boat launching is not authorized. Lehigh Gorge State Park invites visitors all year round, enabling a continuous interaction with nature from dawn to dusk. Lehigh Gorge State Park entices outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of the environment and make priceless memories in this alluring retreat with its breathtaking panoramas, endless recreational opportunities, and calm ambiance.
