Confirmed from Little Lehigh Park Arboretum'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.

“The trickling water under the bridge by the fireman's home is beautiful.”

Beautiful park next to the fish hatchery. Was there on a spring day. Many of the trees were flowering.... Very pretty. Bonus was walking through the fish hatchery. If you go into the little store at the end of the property where they sell fish food, they have a small taxidermy collection of Pennsylvania wildlife...

I brought my friend LVHN Cedar Crest for a transplant checkup after he received a kidney a week ago. I was looking for somewhere to go while he was there and found this place. I had my puppy with me and she had a blast on her walk around the park. Friendly people and dogs too!!

One of our favorite places to walk as the trail continues for quite a distance and by the water as well.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
