Confirmed from Lehigh Mountain Park's 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 featuring archery and a hill trail popular with mountain bikers, as well as dog walkers.
What runners say about Lehigh Mountain Park
Nice toe path to walk along the water. It's also good for biking. There's places to fish along the way. Not many people walk along here so it is very peaceful.
Ahhh, the nicer part. Two lots to park in near the train crossing. Most of the motor bike trails are across the tracks towards the pump station/ cave entrance. The hill trail is mainly mountain bikes, one is a long loop that nears Canal Park, Sand Island, Bethlehem. I loved walking this trail with my dog.
