Kimmett's Lock

Kimmett's Lock is a public recreational area located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Situated off Dauphin Street near the American Parkway Bridge and Coca-Cola Park, this site serves as a boat launch point on the Lehigh River. The area is part of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, connecting to the broader trail system that runs through the region.

The lock itself is a remnant of the historic Lehigh Canal, which played a crucial role in the area's industrial development during the 19th century. Today, Kimmett's Lock provides access to the Lehigh River for boating enthusiasts and serves as a trailhead for the Delaware & Lehigh Trail.

The site features a large parking area to accommodate visitors and their vehicles, making it convenient for those looking to launch boats or begin their trail adventures. While primarily functioning as a boat launch and trail access point, Kimmett's Lock also offers opportunities for fishing and enjoying views of the Lehigh River.
