South Mountain Preserve

In celebration of National Trails Day®, LV Running Scene will be hosting a group trail run at South Mountain Preserve in Emmaus.

WHEN: Saturday, June 4National Trails Day logo
WHERE: South Mountain Preserve, Emmaus

This is a great introduction to the South Mountain nature area. Run past boulders that are two billion years old, surroundeded by old 19th century quarries and mature hardwood forests.

We will follow the perimeter network of trails (orange, blue, yellow, and red blazed trails) around the Preserve. Trails are mainly single track and become slightly more technical near the top of the ridge. Bring water to carry. Run will be approximately 5.5 miles in length.

Questions, email jill@lvrunningscene.com or leave a comment below.

DIRECTIONS: From I-78 take exit 57 (Lehigh St). Go south on Lehigh St (towards Emmaus) and turn left on Klines Lane. (There is a Top Star gas station on the corner right near Shangies Beer Distributor and the Emmuas Public Library is across the street.) Drive up the hill, over the rail road tracks and there is a parking a stone parking lot on the left. The trail starts at the far East side of the parking lot.
