Penn Haven Access

Penn Haven Fishing Access Site is a County-owned parking facility in Jim Thorpe that provides access to the Lehigh River Water Trail, one of 20 access points along the 72-mile recreational water trail from White Haven to Easton.

The site features a boat launch with a raft slide for easy water access and a gravel drive for vehicle drop-off, though the steep switchback trail down to the river (exceeding 16% grade) is not ADA accessible.

The parking lot offers approximately 289 striped spaces and connects to the Lehigh Gorge Trail and the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor Trail system.
