Walk to the Lock

Counting down to America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, DCNR has partnered with America250PA to celebrate the role of Pennsylvania’s public outdoor spaces and their impact on the Commonwealth. Focusing on America250PA’s theme of “Educate, Preserve, Innovate, and Celebrate” (EPIC), DCNR is helping to engage citizens in all 67 counties to commemorate this momentous occasion. The distance walked/hiked during this event and any other hosted by DCNR can be used for America250PA’s Road to 2026 Celebrate Pennsylvania challenge.

Join park staff for a short walk to Lock 28 along the Lehigh River. We will share some of the history of White Haven and Lehigh Gorge State Park during this short quarter-mile walk. Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome.

Please meet at the large gravel parking lot at White Haven South Access off PA-940.

In the event of rain, this program will continue as scheduled. In the event of thunderstorms, canceled.

If you need an accommodation to participate in park activities due to a disability, please contact our office at (272) 808-6192.
