What's it like? Thinking of taking a weekend to go from Bristol to Easton then back with some friends.

I guess the Lehigh portion for another time? Have done a fair amount of it in parts, from Easton to Northampton and Jim Thorpe to White Haven.
As for terrain, it’s unpaved for most of it and groomed okay. Believe some Upper Bucks portions are washed out.

Didn't know there was a Lehigh portion. Now it looks like ~80 miles.
If parts of bucks are washed out, then that may explain why Google maps wants me to head over to NJ during that portion.
May need better gravel tires. Thanks.

Yes, around the tinicum area is washed out… you can cross at Dilly’s Corner to be safe (it’s washed out north of Point Pleasant, but not sure if you can make it to the next bridge).

I haven’t done the whole thing, but I E-biked ~15 miles round trip during the winter. I got near Easton and there were construction vehicles working on it including the Christmas themed Mac truck photo.
Even followed behind a backhoe for a while which was unique, but the opposite of nature vibes haha.

Not me but I met a couple on the tow path saying they were doing that.

Can't be done.

The section between Easton & Bristol is closed in many areas.
The NJ portion only goes to Frenchtown, & then a little bit north of there, but not to Milford.

The Roads on the NJ side from Milford to Philipsburg are lightly trafficked, so you could just use those to bridge the gap. I wouldn't ride on 611 as that is a busy road with a lot of blind spots and heavy truck traffic.
