Confirmed from Lehigh Gorge State Park - Rockport Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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 along the Lehigh River with miles of multiuse trails & activities such as whitewater rafting.

I love the trails we walked today, The trails are flat and the views were very peaceful and pretty. My dog loved the trails as well. Hearing the water was so nice 🙂. All the folks I encountered were very nice except one 😅 can't wait to come back especially when the flowers bloom.
Great place for a family to enjoy the day. Trails are kid and dog friendly. Sights are breathtaking. The only problem is there is so much stuff to see and admire it took us forever to walk the trail 😄. I definitely recommend this experience
Great views for those that love nature with several bridges, waterfalls, and remains of an old canal depending on which way you go and how far you go. There are also several rapid tours on the river. It is best to get a detailed map to see where the attractions are on the 150+ mile trail.
