    Wildlife Watching at Lehigh Gorge State Park

    River corridors are natural transportation routes and so the gorge has a great diversity of plants and animals. Great blue herons, mergansers, kingfishers, and beavers are common river residents.

    During summer, the Lehigh Gorge Trail is a great place to see:

    • Snakes
    • Fence lizards
    • Warblers, especially black-and-white and magnolia warblers
