Packerton Yards Access

Packerton Yards Fishing Access Site offers direct access to the Lehigh River between Lehighton and Jim Thorpe via Route 209, where the road dips steeply.

Park and walk straight back to the river for good access, then head downstream about 100 yards to find a riffle with a deep pool behind a pump house—a productive fishing spot for the area.
