the 80's. Throughout the dark hours of summer temperatures plunge down into the 60's. Highs through the wintertime are generally in the 30's, and winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.
There is so much cool stuff to do to satisfy
everyone.
Settlement patterns, from Native Americans to today's immigrants, continue to change the patterns in the tapestry known as the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. It began because of the magnificent scenery and the discovery of the widest range of
natural resources found anywhere in the world. Unmatched extraction of natural resources changed the landscape but nature prevailed in many places, erasing any sign of industry and in some cases even of the communities that once existed. Unsurpassed recreational opportunities
lead one through bucolic countrysides, rugged mountains and lush valleys as well as through teeming communities filled with over 50 types of ethnic flavor. Visit sites offering a look into these stories, recreation of every kind, breathtaking scenery and a trail system that links
many of the attractions together. Enjoy ethnic and musical celebrations, walking tours through communities with rich and colorful histories, and museums describing the industries, people and wildlife that share this special place. CONTACTS
