Lehigh Gap Boat Ramp

Lehigh Gap Boat Ramp is a boat launch in Pennsylvania, about 1.6 miles from the town of Palmerton. It is a straightforward put-in spot rather than a destination with a set route, so there is no distance, climb or difficulty to plan around. For the most comfortable conditions, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lehighton run highs of about 70°F in May and 73°F in September, with July peaking around 82°F. Winter brings highs in the upper 30s and a few snow days each month from December through March. The ramp also makes a good base for a short hike before or after time on the water. Winter Trail is just 0.6 miles away and Charcoal Trail about 1.2 miles off, while the P.M.P.A. Nature Trail and Prairie Grass Trail lie roughly 2 miles from the launch.
