I really enjoy riding bike in this trail, it is very well maintained, the people you come across are friendly and keep their distance. Everyone follows road rules so its very easy to navigate, even when theres others walking. Theres parking, benches along the way, and of coarse the water. If you are looking to decompress after work, or get out of the house to get some air this is a nice place to do it .
The trail is in decent shape, but the driveways and parking lots have more craters than the surface of the Moon
Beautiful scenery nice walking/ biking trail.
Great spot to put your raft in and float anywhere you would like I usually go to sand island plenty of parking here and always seems safe to me
Beautiful and so peaceful. Best place in all of the Lehigh Valley in my opinion. The river is so amazing, straight out of a book like. And the wild life is flurising and blooming more and more every year. So happy everybody is keeping this place beautiful, please let keep it this way my good people :)
The trail needs more signs, you can be lost very easy if you dont check the map, be sometimes is confusing connecting the trail along the route.
A magic place..But 20 years ago, it used to be much better.. he used to be full of people back in the 80s today it looks like an abandoned place I dont know why this city doesnt take care of it anymore but still so magical I sat on the grass and I was I was watching for a long time the little light bugs everywhere
Kool and comfortable just listening to the sound of the water
Great clean place for a walk or run. Lots of fish and turtles to see.
Not good for fishing. Buy I enjoyed the scenery during my walk
Nice relaxing walk
Very nice park
Great place for swimming on the Lehigh River
This park has nice trails that you can enjoy the river.
We go tubing from Allentown to Bethlehem and this is the spot we get in from.
There was a lot a scattered litter around the river. The walking trails were much more clear. My dog enjoyed playing in the water to cool down.
Calm. Quiet. Peaceful. Good fishing also.
Nice trail along the canal. Nice to bike from Allentown to Bethlehem, however Im told you can take it all the way to Easton with no problem. Also nice for dogs.
Could do with a clean up but a great walk
Love spend alot of time there with my best friend (dog)
I lived a good chunk of my life in MN and always found this place to be a nice long weekend type of area maybe once a year. I suffer a heart attack usually with the simple thoughts of Duluths insane weather, but this is a great place to visit in the summer. Its extremely family friendly, safe, and can be pretty on the right summer day. Its fun watching the small ships leave the port after you watch the bridge rise with much excitement from the crowd. Alot of seagull poop flopping around, but its nature so what the hell? Canal Park has a couple of decent coffee shops (I.E. Amazing Grace) and not much else for food. I guess Grandmas might be ok if your looking for onion rings or something simple. Not much else to eat in that area. Canal Park is also the beginning of a pleasant boardwalk you can stroll through when the weather is agreeable (again, usually about 11 days out of the year). Downtown Duluth is not so wonderful to look at, so a short skip and a hop you will be Canal Park. It would be a great place to spend a weekend in the summer.
Amazing, beautiful and quiet.
Good place to relax...
Hate it all the lLOUD MUSIC. Coming from South side of river.
Just a BEAUTIFUL, relaxing, naturally pleasing place to be! Its By Far my most favorite place in all the Lehigh Valley. Quite possibly all of Pennsylvania, really.
Great scenery
Very beautiful place to visit
Absolutely wonderful little slice of the valley. Brought my little sister here to teach her how to cast a line and use a fishing rod.
Great bike ride. Love the DL trails. Perfect day.
Cool down spot for hot summer days also for jetsking and small boats
Great access to the Lehigh River, D&L Trail, and Lehigh Canal. Public restrooms usually available. The park has a perpetual litter problem and occasional car break-ins, but its policed somewhhat by the City of Allentown.
Great trail to walk.
Fine place to visit and for biking
Peaceful and quiet.... Beautiful to walk through
Very nice place pretty didnt catch any fish but still liked the veiw
Nice canal is boring and dred ful need more or a tree lol seriously add wild life or anything
A nice view, calm (except regular train passing) and clean
Animals trees River canal not too much hustle and bustle just beautiful
Great place to come down and throw line in. I could only find two barbecuers though so they need to step that up otherwise beautiful walk pass Serene environment.
Great for biking.. watching wildlife
So beautiful!! Great park for a picnic!
Great park for walking and bike rides
Loved it
Great place to walk your dogs or ride bike
A nice place for well-behaved kids. Very hot though. Shade limited in spring. Bring water
This is hardly a hidden gem of the Allentown park system. It is well hidden from the public and not easy to access by car. Amenities include a boathouse, a pavilion, and locked restrooms.More interesting is the mix of four transportation modes from the regions history, beginning with roads, and continuing through canals, railroads, and finally bicycles. A steel girder bridge, a canal lock, and industrial structures add to the visual appeal of the park.Arriving at Canal Park by bicycle on the D&L Canal towpath trail from Bethlehem is easy. Its 3.9 miles from the far-more-lively Sand Island park in Bethlehem. The trail is well-maintained by the two cities parks departments. A recent tree fall completely blocking the towpath after a storm was cleared after a report by one of the volunteer trail keepers who do patrols along the towpath.The surface of the trail is packed gravel and dries quickly after rainstorms.
Jetsking its great here
Relaxing
Love the walk on the trail here!
Great place to teach kids how to ride a bike
Beautiful scenery great place to chill and meditate
Not like before
Great park with Pavilion and access to both the canal & Lehigh river. You can walk from here to Sand Island on the D&L trail.
A very relaxing adult & doggie trail. It is also a great place for a small birthday event.
Great place to start the D&L trail down to Easten from. Has some picnic benches under a covered pavilion with a bathroom.
Serenity... pure Bliss!!!
Old school
Very nice place
Enjoy our walk and scenery and nature and fresh air was perfect too.
I love this park but it would of be better if they make a little remodels to it, but still being one of the best park.
Dont go in evening, dangerous neighborhood surrounding it
Not much to see
Very beautiful park nice trail well kept gem
This place is a hidden treasure that could use a makeover to reveal its beautiful layers.
No where near as nice as Walnutport, or even Bethlehem
Nice place to go out for a walk and enjoy nature. Although, once you get to the parking area the road is terrible, its very bumpy and has lots of pot holes. That area could use some work.
Great bike trail with nice scenery.
I really enjoyed going here by myself and just relaxing.
I grew up around this park its kind of secluded,ppl around neighborhood go there it was fine growing still the same but its NOT a park for everyone.
I love its
Great trails and fishing spot could use some attention and canoes for canal again like they used to have.
A great place to get onto the D&L trail from. Has benches under a covered pavilion with a bathroom.
Refreshing
I go here regularly for the trail. But you must be careful; my car window was smashed a few weeks ago and my wallet stolen out of the car (no the wallet was not in sight). When I called the police, dispatched did not know where canal park was located, after giving them directions, they called me back stating the police were unsure of where the park was located. My point is: it is a great walking trail, but dont leave valuables in the car. Other than that I have never had issues on the trail.
Nice place to hike and fish but lack a food stand
This is a place even the locals have forgotten about. its a very nice place to enjoy the river and relax
Great park for jogging, biking, or walking.
This park is very unsafe. Im a avid runner/walker. Ive been to many trails/parks and never had a problem until I went here. I left my car alone for less then an hour and it got broken into. My window was smashed during broad daylight.
This is free America trust me go here.
Great views .Tranquil pplace good for fishing jet skiing, rowing . Excellent long runs
Safe area to walk with someone.
Nice viewing
Canu jetski fish hike enjoy!
Trails over grown no bathroom, picnic area always trashed. Like many of Alentowns pack not taken care of unless it is part of the Trexler trust. I grew up here and I do not recommend be safer go to park along canal street in Northampton.
Good fishing spot
Love the river. Good kayaking. Park a little unkempt.
Its certainly not the park I grew up with not even close but its okay
What a waste of fish lic no more they need to stock alot
Love this place good fishing spots
