One of our favorite places to go for many years, it has a 100-ft. waterfall plus trails, fishing, boating and other family-friendly activities. About 1 hour from the condo, but well worth the trip if you like the outdoors and views of the mountains. Call ahead to check on whether it is open, as it is probably closed from November until April, but their schedule is flexible depending on the weather.

The Ironton Rail Trail is a rail trail that spans 9 miles in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The trail was made from tracks of the defunct Ironton Railroad and includes a paved 5 mile loop. The trail spreads across Whitehall Township, Coplay and North Whitehall.
The trail follows the route of the Ironton Railroad, which obliged the future trail makers by creating a lasso-shaped corridor to connect iron mines in the ore-rich county to iron foundries along the river and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Built in 1860, the railroad survived the local iron industry decline by serving the growing cement-making industry, which left behind some of the most striking artifacts along the trail. Certain segments fell into disuse starting in 1955, until the last section was discontinued in 1984.
Whitehall and North Whitehall Townships and the borough of Coplay jointly acquired the corridor in 1996. All but 1.4 miles of trail are paved. The 142-mile D&L Trail is just across the Lehigh River from Coplay.
The north side of the loop on Chestnut Street is a good place to start, with parking and restrooms. Heading east, clockwise around the loop, you’ll arrive at Saylor Park in 0.7 mile. From a distance, you might think you’ve stumbled into Hogwarts on the set of a Harry Potter movie. What you’re seeing are the nine 90-foot-high brick cement kilns built for the Coplay Cement Company in 1893. They only operated 11 years before they became obsolete, but the kilns survive today as an open-air museum of the cement industry. The Coplay community pool sits across the trail from the kiln.
The trail bends right at the Lehigh River, a Pennsylvania Scenic River.
