A deep, steep-walled gorge carved by a river, thick vegetation, rock outcroppings and waterfalls characterize Lehigh Gorge State Park. In Luzerne and Carbon counties in eastern Pennsylvania, the park follows the Lehigh River from the outlet of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Francis E. Walter Dam at the northern end, to the town of Jim Thorpe at the southern end of the park. Whitewater boating and biking are popular activities.

Trip Ideas
We stayed in Jim Thorpe for a weekend while exploring this area many years ago. Specifically, we:
- Stayed overnight at the Jim Thorpe Camping Resort.
- Biked up the rail trail within the Lehigh Gorge State Park.
- Took a rafting trip through Whitewater Challengers.
- Hiked to Glen Onoko Falls
Editor's Note...
We visited the Lehigh River many years ago, taking a trip down the river on both kayaks and rafts through an outfitter called Whitewater Challengers (Weatherly, PA). We also visited another time to bike along the tow path, as well as to hike to Glen Onoko Falls. We can not wait to get back and explore more!
