Lehigh is popular for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, so regardless of your preference, it is necessary to show some respect and share the river.

The traversable portions of the Lehigh are long and wide, with varying waves and ripples along the way. The views are majestic and the semi-slow flow gives riders a good chance to check out the surrounding nature. You may want to check out a detailed map or speak with some locals before starting out, there are some turns and bypasses that some feel are vital, or you can just sort of plot out the navigation on your own and risk getting pinned, briefly.

Obviously, you should know your take outs and put ins beforehand, it’s never a good idea to guess. The Lehigh is a great choice for those into sightseeing and thrill-seeking alike.
