Allentown Canal Park Access Point

At first glance, this spot appears to be a peaceful countryside escape, but it has a bit of an abandoned feel compared to the more developed Bethlehem side. I visited with my stepson for a bike ride, and while the unpaved trail was a nice change, we did notice a few homeless shacks and encountered a disoriented lady, which felt a bit unsettling. Unfortunately, we had a flat tire on our way back, and with no lighting at the parking area, it was pitch black — adding to the uneasy feeling, especially when a stranger started shouting at us. While it has potential, I recommend being cautious if visiting during the evening.

Spent the day with my son just south of the boatlaunch there's a nice secluded candy area next to the beginning of the tow path

Not like Bethlehem, or Walnutport, not taken care of at all. What a shame. Could be a nice area even has an area for cook outside but the city has just let it go!

I would've gave 5 star if this place wasn't trashed by the local trash that live around the area. I call them trash cause they come there and leave there trash everywhere. Then they think they own the park blocking the boat ramp with there cars, catching attitudes when people show up to use it. It makes you think what's happened in these people lives to act so ignorant. The one time I picked up thousands of beer cans that some trash dumped there, and found needles and weed bags while doing it. Makes me sick

Great place to launch your river boat, canoe, or jet ski. The mountain behind the river just beautiful to behold. Go see for yourself. It's worth the drive.
