Lehigh Gap Section
Day 2 – 21 miles
Day 2 of our 2-day Jim Thorpe Overnight Bike Package consists of a 21 mile bike ride on the Lehigh Gap section of the D& L Trail. You will start with a hearty breakfast at the Broadway Grille. After a short walk to our Pocono Biking store, you will be shuttled to the Cementon Trailhead. From there you will ride along at your own pace. The trail follows the Lehigh River as it bends through small, river towns. Along the way you will cross the Appalachian Trail, pass the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, as well as explore the ruins of the Lehigh Canal. Your rail trail biking ride ends when you cross the Mansion House Pedestrian Bridge. There you will arrive back at our store in the historic town of Jim Thorpe.
Save time when you arrive; fill out our Liability Waiver and bring it with you.
