Lehigh Parkway, Public parkway trail system in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Lehigh Parkway is a trail system that stretches across wooded terrain with paths made of crushed stone and gravel. These paths wind alongside the Little Lehigh Creek and connect multiple sections of natural landscape throughout the park.
The park was created in the early 20th century as part of an effort to add green space to the city. The design incorporated existing bridges and the creek into the parkland to preserve both nature and historic structures.
The Museum of Indian Culture located within the parkway shares exhibits about the Native American peoples of the region. Visitors can explore displays that reflect the lives and traditions of the Lenape and other groups who inhabited this land long ago.
The parkway has several entry points with parking spaces available near Lehigh Parkway North, Robin Hood Bridge, and Klein's Bridge. Restroom facilities are located near Bogert's Bridge for visitor convenience.
A trout hatchery within the park raises young fish for local waterways throughout the year. Visitors can watch how these fish are bred and cared for before being released into streams and creeks.
