About Lehigh Gorge State Park (PA)

Our Personal Take...

We visited the Lehigh River many years ago, taking a trip down the river on both kayaks and rafts through an outfitter called Whitewater Challengers (Weatherly, PA). We also visited another time to bike along the tow path, as well as to hike to Glen Onoko Falls. We can not wait to get back and explore more!
