A Day at Ontelaunee Park in New Tripoli, PA

 By Nate Feldman

If you want a great way to enjoy scenic countryside in Pennsylvania, take a trip to Ontelaunee Park in the small town of New Tripoli, located in the northwestern part of Lehigh county.  When you get there, you should do many different things.  First, after you park your car in the parking lot, go up the hill to the soccer field.  You can play there with friends or family.  Below the hill, there is a playground with a swing set, seesaws, and a jungle gym.  After that, take a walk around the park.  There is a 1.1 mile trail that loops around the area.  Go to the covered bridge above the creek and begin your walk.  The trail goes through a wooded area and past the Ontelaunee Creek.  Also, there is a dog park.  If you have a dog, you should bring it there to play with other people's dogs.  In addition to its natural scenery, Ontelaunee Park has a lot of events throughout the year, such as the Pioneer Apple Fest and the Native American Intertribal Pow Wow.  So, if you are traveling in the Lehigh Valley, make sure you stop by Ontelaunee Park and have a wonderful time.
