A magical place in Lehigh County where visitors can hike, bike, ride horses, cross country ski, fish from the well stocked waters of the Jordan Creek , or just view nature. A popular destination for families, the 1,108 acre expanse was founded by General Harry Trexler as a way to protect endangered bison and elk at the turn of the 20th Century.
