About South Mountain Preserve

South Mountain Preserve protects over 600 acres of forested ridgeline above Bethlehem. The preserve features rugged hiking trails with stunning valley views, diverse wildlife, and remnants of old quarries and charcoal hearths from the region's industrial past.

Why We Recommend Them

Real hiking — not a paved path. The ridge trail offers breathtaking views of the entire Lehigh Valley, and it feels like wilderness even though you're minutes from downtown Bethlehem.
