Saucon Rail Trail

The Saucon Trail is a nice 7 mile trail south of Allentown, PA. I particularly like the variety of scenery along the trail. Portions of the trail were along Saucon Creek but it also passed marsh land, golf courses, farmland, and some very affluent residential areas. It also passed by or through several parks.

Learn more about the trail from the township website, the trail website,  or the Facebook page.





A video of my ride on this trail is posted on Mark's Bike Tock YouTube channel.

Slate Heritage Trail

The Slate Heritage Trail is a nice, short spur on the D&L Trail in Slatington, PA.  It is a rail to trails project along the old Lehigh Valley Railroad, Slatedale Branch. The trail parallels Trout Creek and runs 3.3 miles. There is a covered bridge about half way up the trail. The picturesque spot seems a favorite for locals taking pictures for special occasions such as proms, weddings and so forth.

For more information on this trail consult the Northern Lehigh Historical Society.

The Slate Heritage Trail is part of The Link system of trails.
