A bronze of heavyweight world champion Larry Holmes stands on the Lehigh River boardwalk that bears his name, gloves up in mid-jab, on the waterfront a short walk from Centre Square. Holmes was born and raised in Easton, and the surrounding patch of riverside — the Larry Holmes Drive boardwalk — is one of the more pleasant strolls in town, with views across the Delaware into Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
The boardwalk leads down to the confluence with the Delaware and the start of the Lehigh towpath, making for an easy 30-minute loop combined with the canal museum.
