Sections I've been on are Nice
By ricks41 in March, 2012
I just uploaded the GPS data for the Portion that is on the Lehigh Valley Rail Bed. This section has been donated by the State to the Local Snowmobile club and allowed to be changed to a multi-use trail. It goes through some absolutely beautiful countryside and forest areas, but a good portion is just traveling between farm fields where farmers use it for ATV'ing and cattle crossing and general use. But it s still lots better than being on the road.
Designed for Pedestrians
By Mary Kunzler-Larmann in November, 2003
The Link Trail was designed and built for pedestrian travel. It's a great walking trail with natural areas and lots of wildlife and birds.
