The Lehigh Parkway Trail is a picturesque 3-mile stretch of land that parallels the Little Lehigh Creek on both sides of the creek. The tread is basically a flat cinder stone base similar to a rails to trails path, with 2 or 3 short but slightly steep climbs. It's a great ride to take the family on. The entire trail is approximately 6 miles if you ride both sides in a loop. Access can be gained from multiple parking areas along Fish Hatchery Rd. and from the 15th St. entrance.

The Lehigh Parkway is home to the Lehigh County Fish Hatchery, which is a nice stop to go and feed the fish with the kids. Other attractions are the Leni Lenape Indian Museum, the Fly Fisherman's Shop and the Covered Bridge. On any given day the parkway is filled with fisherman, joggers, bikers and people just out enjoying a walk or a picnic.
