Sand Island Boat Ramp

Sand Island Boat Ramp is a popular launch point on the Lehigh River in Bethlehem for easy paddling downstream to the Route 33 take-out.

The ramp is located on Sand Island just after crossing the Hill-to-Hill Bridge and the low railroad bridge, with an open parking area nearby and no facilities on-site. This is the most popular access point for a leisurely drift down the lower Lehigh River.
