Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway

Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train

The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a classic Jim Thorpe experience, offering narrated round-trip excursions through the dramatic scenery of Lehigh Gorge State Park. Passengers ride in restored vintage coaches—some dating to 1917—while diesel locomotives pull the train alongside the Lehigh River, past rock formations, bridges, forests, and seasonal color. Rides are 45 – 80 minutes long, depending on the type of ticket purchased.

It is an easy, family-friendly way to see the gorge without hiking or biking, and special themed excursions add extra appeal throughout the year. Check the railway’s online calendar before your trip for current departure times, seasonal schedules, and holiday-train offerings.
