Lehigh Gorge State Park, State park in Pennsylvania, US
The 4,548-acre park extends along the Lehigh River, featuring deep gorges, waterfalls, and forested areas between White Haven and Jim Thorpe.
The park's land played a crucial role in Pennsylvania's industrial development, with the Lehigh Coal Mining Company starting operations in 1792.
John James Audubon spent six weeks in 1829 documenting and painting the natural landscapes of the Lehigh Gorge region.
Three main access points serve the park: the northern entrance at White Haven, the central point at Rockport, and the southern entrance through Jim Thorpe.
The 26-mile Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail follows the former railway path, connecting to the larger Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.
