Maps
& Trails Choose
from the easy ( but incredibly scenic ) "rails-to-trails" ride through
the Lehigh Gorge. Or, for a more varied outing try the historic Switchback
Trail - an eighteen mile loop you can access just a block from historic
Jim Thorpe. For the more advanced, singletrack-seeking enthusiast,
check out David Matsinko's guide book with details on 20 area trails, or
contact our experienced staff for the region's best selection of trail
maps to your own self-guided adventure. There are no trail fees but you
will need a map to successfully follow the trails - most are NOT marked.
If you want an easy grade or extreme downhill - we'll get you there!
X-Country Skiing - Hiking - Snowshoeing some
of these trails are excellent for these activities also.
After Your Adventure visit the
one-of-a-kind historic mansions, churches, shops and galleries of Jim
Thorpe's "Old Mauch Chunk" National Historic District. Hungry and
thirsty? Visit one of Old Mauch Chunk's many eateries and watering
holes.
