Glen Onoco to Jim Thorpe: A Weekend Tip

Converted Rail Bridge.











As I have stated in my previous blog Glen Onoco is packed on weekends, but so is historic Jim Thorpe, my next destination. Jim Thorpe has very limited parking unless you want to pay for it and Glen Onoco has free parking. If you do not mind a scenic walk or bike, ride here is what I would suggest. Park at the Glen and either hoof or peddle it to Jim Thorpe. The trail is flat and well maintained. Generally you can find parking in the outer lots at the Glen and this will get you some exercise and keep a couple extra bucks in your pocket.
        You will get to use the newly completed path across an old rail bridge above. Taking this route will also give you the options of checking out some smaller trails on the Glen side of the river which lead to old foundations and run against the canal which once was in operations many years ago. This way will take you right to the train station in Jim Thorpe.
