Counting down to America’s 250^th 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 half-mile walk. Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome.

Please meet at the White Haven South Access to Lehigh Gorge State Park. From PA-940 near I-80, turn into the park. The parking lot is on the right. We will gather at the parking lot entrance.

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

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