Description
“It’s almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream.”
~ Sir Bernard Williams
~1929-2003
Early April shows off its flare for sunset over Grouse Hall Pond on a beautiful evening along the Ironton Rail Trail, which loops more than nine miles through Whitehall Township, the Borough of Coplay and North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
The pond, the property of the Grouse Hall Fish and Game Association, Coplay, can be glimpsed from the trail.
The Ironton Railroad was a shortline railroad in Lehigh County. Originally built in 1861 to haul iron ore and limestone to blast furnaces along the Lehigh River, traffic later shifted to carrying Portland Cement when local iron mining declined in the early 20th century. Much of the railroad had already been abandoned when it became part of Conrail in 1976, and the last of its trackage was removed in 1984.
In 1996, Whitehall Township purchased 9.2 miles of the right-of-way from Conrail, transforming it into the Ironton Rail Trail.
