The Levee Loop Trail forms a Loop along the Eastern and Western Banks of Brodhead Creek in the towns of Stroud and East Stroudsburg. Constructed in the deadly aftermath of deadly floods in the 1950s, the levee separates the residents of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg from the torrential tendencies of Brodhead Creek. The trail encompasses Dansbury Park, Creekview Park, Stockes Mill Park & Yetter Park, as well as, East Stroudsburg HS. The Broadhead Creek Greenway continues North, along Brodhead Creek through Broadhead Creek Park to Pinebrook Park. For more information visit; STROUD REGION TRAILS .
Levee Loop Trail; Eastern Side:
Starting from Dansbury Park in East Stroudsburg [Southeastern End]; From the parking lot head back out to *Day Street and turn right. A dirt path to your right will take you up to the top of the Levee and the start of the Levee Loop Trail; Eastern Side. Follow the hard packed grass trail South, to an **Intersection.
Note; Left, a trail takes you down to a bridge over a creek. This is where you'll Loop back from.
Continue straight, out to Brodhead Creek, where the trail heads North, above the East Bank of the creek and park. Pass a picnic pavilion, playground, pool and ball fields before you come to a short paved section. Here you'll find a Map Board and a spur back into Dansbury Park. Another parking lot here. The grass trail continues North, along the Levee. After a mile you'll leave the Levee (green arrows point the way). A crushed gravel trail take you under some power lines and out to a school road (East Stroudsburg HS). Head left, North, on-road crossing Sambo Creek and passing by a parking area before coming to a sports field at 1.1 miles. A paved trail takes you around the fields where it returns to crushed gravel. Soon you are back atop the Levee. The trail then leaves the Levee and enters wooded Yetter Park. There are many intersecting paths as the trail passes through a Folf Course (Frisbee golf). Just continue along a straight line. After 2 miles you'll come to Mill Creek Rd. Head left, West, on-road along Mill Creek Rd over Brodhead Creek to Stokes Mill Rd. Narrow shoulder on bridge, sidewalk available.
Note; After crossing the bridge, the Broadhead Creek Greenway picks up on your right heading North. I haven't checked out this trail. I believe this is a 1.7 mile crushed gravel trail.
Levee Loop Trail; Western Side:
The Levee Loop Trail; Western Side now begins it's Loop back, along the West Bank of Brodhead Creek. Head left, South, on-road along Stokes Mill Rd (Residential). Just past Bonnie Dr to your right you'll pick a narrow, hard packed dirt trail along your left that travels South, along the river.

Follow the grass Levee above the creek out to Washington St. Head left, East, along the wide sidewalk, crossing the bridge back over Brodhead Creek.
