The 24th annual Lehigh River Sojourn, September 19th-21st, is Wildlands Conservancy’s 50 mile guided paddling trip on the Lehigh River and bicycling on the D&L National Heritage Trail. The event begins in Jim Thorpe and ends in Easton. Sojourners travel through our region’s metro-wilderness- treasuring scenic views, visits from resident wildlife and a shared appreciation for preserving the Lehigh River.
Register for 1, 2, or all 3 days! Lunch, bikes, safety guides, and river programs are included. Canoes are available to rent, or bring your own kayak or canoe (and we’ll shuttle it for you). Private bicycles are not permitted.
We’re committed to your health and safety! To view our current health & safety plan for in-person programming, click here.
