Saucon Rail Trail

A trail following a former railbed from its northern terminus at Water Street Park in Hellertown (Bachman Street) to its southern terminus at Living Memorial Park (E Landis Street) in Coopersburg. There are several parking areas and road crossings along the way. The surface in Hellertown and Lower Saucon Township is loose ballast and a light-colored gravel. The surface in Upper Saucon Township is a more finely-crushed stone with a darker color.

Parking areas are available at:

• Water Street Park, Hellertown (restrooms & water)
• Grist Mill, Hellertown
• Bingen Road & Reading Drive, Bethlehem (restrooms & water)
• Upper Saucon Township Park, Preston Lane, Center Valley (restrooms & water)
• Southern Lehigh Public Library, Preston Lane, Center Valley (restrooms & water)
• Station Avenue, Center Valley
• Living Memorial Park, Coopersburg (restrooms & water)

This trail is very wide, but is normally very active with walkers, runners, and bikers. It passes golf courses, large mansions, quite a few public parks, and DeSales University along the 11.4-kilometer journey.
