Paddling near Allentown, PA

Allentown anchors Lehigh County astride the Lehigh River, a 109-mile Delaware tributary that widens here into easy flatwater as it leaves the gorge upstream. The Lehigh River Water Trail's southern 31-mile segment threads the city between Lehigh Gap and Easton, while the urban Little Lehigh Creek in the city's parkway gives locals a paddle almost any week of the year.
