The Jordan Creek Greenway Trail is a planned 14-mile trail with the dual purposes of protecting the health of the creek and its ecosystem, and connecting communities within the Lehigh Valley. When complete, the trail will run through Allentown, Whitehall, North Whitehall and South Whitehall, to the Trexler Nature Preserve.
The first section of the Jordan Creek Greenway in South Whitehall opened in 2019. Starting at Wehr Mill Road on the north side of the creek, this section of trail follows the creek along wetlands and farm fields, terminating at Route 309. To access the trail, we kindly ask that you park in the Covered Bridge Park parking lot near Wehr's Dam, or on the east side of Wehr Mill Road. Happy hiking!
In 2024, the Township constructed another mile of trail connecting from Wehr Mill Road to Lapp Road through Covered Bridge Park. The trail is easily accessible from multiple parking lots along River Road or Lapp Road.
Trailheads with parking for the Whitehall segment include:
In South Whitehall, park at Covered Bridge Park is located at 2465 Wehr Mill Rd, Allentown. The park has its own walking trail running the length of the park.
Beautiful wilderness amid the city.
The flow of the trail is perfect as it follows the creek.
Had a nice Sunday morning ride on this trail. I started on the west side. I did not see anyone else on the trail. There are a lot of nice shady areas on the trail. The surface was smooth for riding until I crossed over onto MacArthur Road. The trail surface had golf ball sized gravel rocks from MacArthur Road to the east end of the trail, so I opted to ride on the grassy area next to the the trail for this portion of my ride.
