It has {{convert|88.8|sqmi|km2|1}} of drainage area in Lehigh County and {{convert|18.7|sqmi|km2|1}} of drainage area in Berks County. RecreationThe Little Lehigh forms a linear park in Allentown and Emmaus. This park has a covered bridge and walking trails along the creek.

There are extensive equestrian trails running along the stream through the park which are used by riders, runners and walkers. Tributaries
