Overview

With us, guests will get to pilot their own kayak (or ride in a tandem), on a guided journey through the Metro Wilderness of the Lehigh Valley, from Bethlehem to Easton. On our signature tour, the Steel Stacks Run, we begin at Sand Island in the heart of Historic Bethlehem. Each guest will be issued a kayak, paddle, and life jacket for the trip. Complimentary photos of individuals and groups will be taken as they pass by the Bethlehem Steel Stacks. This is a truly unique photo opportunity! Photos will be emailed to the address given on the reservation form. After a 5 mile paddle, guests then trade their kayak for a mountain bike and hit the D&L trail back to Sand Island on the Historic D&L Trail that runs along the river. (D&L Trail is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution) A courtesy shuttle back to Sand Island is available for anyone who does not want to ride a bike.
