Description

The Jim Thorpe Access is a critical put-in point for the Lehigh River's Glen Onoko section, offering paddlers a strategic entry to the river's challenging whitewater run. While the access point itself is not a rapid, it provides a crucial launching area for navigating the surrounding Class II-III water with multiple potential lines through rocky and technical stretches. Paddlers should be aware of potential water level variations and the need for careful boat positioning when entering the river from this access point.
