HIKING: Hetchel Tooth to Glen Onoko

← PA TUNKHANNOCK CREEK LONG POND PA Triple Blaze →

Description

This hike is cool because it's not very popular and it gets you into some really neat areas. Hetchel Tooth is an area at the turn of the Lehigh River, 1/2 mile north of the Glen Onoko area. There used to be a town here, and several foundations are still visible, if you know where to look. From there, take the riverside trail all the way down to the Glen Onoko area (tiny trail), then climb the old access road up to the top of the point, overlooking the turnhole in the river, and looking over into the Glen. A really cool spot. Follow the top of the mountain above the river, in a northeast direction, back to your vehicle. This hike has you on the other side of the river from everyone else, and gives some great perspectives. It might be a little hard to find and to follow - going with JTX might be a good idea!

Directions

This trail is easier found if you know your way around Jim Thorpe, or if you go with a local/guide. Drive into the Liesureland development, go in past the main mailboxes on Broadview, make the 1st left and at the end of the road is a gate. Hike down from there.
