Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail
 
 
 
Pick your own pace on one of three scenic, self-guided downhill bike treks. Follow the route of the whitewater rafters. Ride along the "converted-for-biking" former railroad bed that parallels the Lehigh River through the Lehigh River Gorge State Park...an unforgettably unique downhill "Rails-to-Trails" pedaling adventure. Beginner to expert riders are welcome. You can bring your own bike or rent one of ours. Round-trip shuttle service is available.

Lehigh River Gorge - Voted by Outside Magazine, One of the 50 Best Rides in America

Come ride with us through the beautiful Lehigh River Gorge. This is our most popular 3 - 5 hour,
25-mile, downhill biking daytrip. You ride along the slight downhill grade of an abandoned railroad bed and follow the river all the way through the Lehigh Gorge State Park. As you pedal at your own pace, you will see fantastic rock formations, tumbling waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. You can picnic at one of the little picnic stops along the trail, explore the ruined locks of the former Lehigh Canal, or marvel at the Penn Haven Planes - a relic from the early railroad era. This trip begins and ends at our Adventure Center. We shuttle you to your starting point and pick you up at your destination. Rates begin at only $15.00 per person. See our RENTAL/SHUTTLE RATES for details.  


Mid-Way Lehigh River Gorge - A 99%
Downhill Trail

If you do not have the time or inclination to pedal the whole Lehigh River Gorge Rail Trail, we can drop you off at the mid-way point. This option is a 2 - 4 hour, 15-mile, 99% gentle downhill ride allowing you to arrive later and have a very enjoyable afternoon. We transport you and your bike to the trailhead. At the end of the day, we pick you up and transport you back to our Adventure Center. Rates begin at only $15.00 per person. See our RENTAL/SHUTTLE RATES for details.


Switchback Railway - The 2nd Railroad in America

This narrow-gauge gravity and mule-powered railway was built to haul coal and became one of America's leading tourist attractions...second only to Niagara Falls. Today the tracks are long gone, the trees have grown back, and the trail has been turned into a National Historic Trail. The Switchback is an extremely pleasant 9-mile downhill historic ride that follows Mauch Chunk Creek and ends at the 19th Century Opera House in Jim Thorpe. We shuttle you to your starting point and pick you up at your destination. Rates begin at $10.00 per person. See our RENTAL/SHUTTLE RATES page for details.  

Jim Thorpe is a hotbed for biking with numerous trails ranging from our famous Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail to screaming technical downhills for the truly insane. We can rent you bikes, provide shuttle service & free maps, or just answer your questions about the best trails in the East. A few of these Trails are listed below...

Broad Mountain - The Broad Mountain is an intermediate to expert ride with overlooks, stream crossings, loop trails, and 20 miles of single track. This is a very popular riding area with fantastic scenery.

Buzzards Point - Buzzards Point is an intermediate, 12-mile, woodlands out and back trail. Miles of double track lead you to a 1000-foot overlook of the Lehigh River Gorge and a whole lot more. Stop by our Adventure Center for free maps and advice.

Twin Peaks - Twin Peaks is an advanced ride following the Mauch Chunk Ridge, on the Fire Line Trail. It features 20 miles of single track riding with screaming powerline descents.

Psycho Betty's Revenge - Psycho Betty is an intermediate, 12-mile, out and back ride. It features scenic overlooks and rolling single-track terrain. If you are looking for even more excitement, you can combine this trail with the Twin Peaks ride!
