We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Covered Bridge Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with over 165 acres featuring walking trails, a butterfly garden, sports fields & a playground.
What runners say about Covered Bridge Park
“I must say, this is one of the most beautiful and clean parks we've been to.”
“Great picnic areas and a nice, secluded walking trail surrounded by beautiful scenic views.”
It's one of two local go to place to do my daily 3mi walks... only 2mi from home. Unfortunately the news of senseless destruction of property on-site and bottles being tossed in the creek from outsideers from NJ & NY make me sad.
Such a nice park. Every year South Whitehall makes upgrades to the park. Restrooms are open year round and heated. Such a good convenience. The new Jordan Creek greenway opened last year. Its a very nice paved walkway along the creek.
This park is gorgeous. Two parks are extremely near to one another. One is designed for young players, and the other is for older children. little children zipline. There are nice walks and a creek where you may fish, swim, or just enjoy the scenery. Rentable or usable picnic tables and shelters.
This is a beautiful park with a large play ground, picnic tables and a running stream runs along one side of the park the bridges are beautiful we brought a small barbecue and grilled chicken, hamburger patties and hotdogs. The covered bridges here are lovely 🤩 A+ Park.
