There are over 50 miles of trails in the Lehigh County Parks System for walking, hiking, and cycling. Our trails offer panoramic views, wildlife observation, waterways, natural areas, and insight to the history or Lehigh County. Those looking for a challenge can hike or mountain bike the challenging 8.5 mile Border Trail at Trexler Nature Preserve. Those interested less strenuous trails will enjoy the ADA trail at Trexler or Lehigh County's 11 miles of the D&L trail along the Lehigh River from Cementon to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Our trails connect to other trails including the 2200 mile Appalachian Trail, other sections of the 165 mile D&L Trail, the Jordan Creek Greenway, the Slate Heritage Trail, the Ironton Rail Trail and the 14 miles of trails at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Whether you want a full day hiking challenge or a short pastoral walk, there is a trail for you.
We are part of The Link Trail Network. The Link is a regional network with over 125 miles of multi use trails throughout Lehigh and Northampton Counties. Over 100 additional miles of trails are planned for future completion. The Link also provides access to long distance trails outside of the Lehigh Valley.
