The Lehigh Tow Path is easily biked by the entire family. It is a combination of gravel and some dirt trail that winds along the scenic Lehigh River from Allentown to Easton for a distance of approximately 26 miles. In addition to being a great family outing it's perfect for a casual paced recovery ride or a quick out and back spin when time is short.

A suggested start is at the Ice House on Sand Island in Bethlehem, where there is parking and access via Lehigh Street. Restrooms and drinking water are next to the tennis courts.
