Twin Trails Ride

October 09, 2020

2 TRAILS, 1 DAY, 30 MILES!

ON THE NOR-BATH & LEHIGH GAP SECTIONS OF THE D&L TRAIL!

twin trail ride, twin trails rideCome experience our Twin Trails Ride…two picturesque rail-trails in one great day; riding 30 miles total on the Nor-Bath and D&L Rail-Trails!

You’ll pick up your morning shuttle at our Pocono Biking Jim Thorpe trail head store. We will drop you off at Jacksonville Park, the top of the Nor-Bath Rail-Trail located near Northampton, PA.  Your eyes are sure to stay busy as you pedal at your own pace along the former site of the Northampton & Bath Railroad.  As the Nor-Bath trail winds through the beautiful Lehigh Valley countryside, you’ll pass farm fields, forests and creeks. You’ll also ride through small tunnels and over bridges.  Along the way you’ll also pass by Bethlehem’s Bicentennial Park and the historic ruins of Fort Allen-Brown.

Where the Nor-Bath trail ends, your second journey begins on the Lehigh Gap section of the D&L Trail.  This section of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is packed full of history, wildlife, and sprawling nature. Following the Lehigh River all the way back to Jim Thorpe, you’ll cycle through the Lehigh Gap and famous Appalachian Trail, pass historical remains such as locks & canals, and ride over the new Mansion House Bridge in downtown Jim Thorpe, built specifically for cyclists & pedestrians.  This Twin Trail ride is professionally guided to help you navigate the multiple trails and highlight all the attributes these two trails have to offer.

Important D&L Trail Information – Effective Until Further Notice

Due to a rockslide near Jim Thorpe, a 2-mile section of the D&L Trail is temporarily inaccessible. This means there are some changes to shuttle services and bike rental routes. Please review the information below before your visit.

SHUTTLE CUSTOMERS

  • Your morning shuttle drop-off will operate as scheduled.
  • You will not be able to ride the final 2 miles of the trail into Jim Thorpe.
  • We will have a shuttle waiting for you at Glen Onoko in The Lehigh Gorge State Park to transport you back to our Jim Thorpe store, where your vehicle is parked.

 

BIKE RENTALS (NO SHUTTLE)

  • All hourly and daily bike rentals departing from our downtown Jim Thorpe location are limited to southbound trail travel only.
  • Northbound travel toward White Haven is not permitted without utilizing our shuttle service (available weekends in November).
  • The trail remains fully open south of Jim Thorpe, offering beautiful views of the Lehigh River, historic canal remnants, and surrounding scenery. It’s perfect for an out-and-back ride!
