Lehigh River- A Jewel in our Backyard

One of the best kept secrets in the Lehigh Valley is its river. Few people know of it and it's pristine beauty and easy access.
The Lehigh is somewhat of a wilderness river in that it was the only privately owned river-which totally restricted shoreline development.
Most folks think of the whitewater stretch in the Lehigh Gorge-they don't realize that the stretch before Allentown and then to the Delaware River is "easy water" and can be paddled by almost anyone.
