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.
What runners say about Little Lehigh Park Arboretum
“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.
