An incorporated township.
Lower Towamensing Township is a township in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of the Lehigh Valley metropolitan area of the United States.
The Delaware Peoples' name is eponymous and was once applied by the natives to the whole region of Carbon County and bits of the Poconos to the north (Luzerne County) and to Schuylkill County (southwest).
The township is in southeastern Carbon County and is bordered by Northampton County to the south and Monroe County to the east. According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 21.30 square miles (55.17 km²), of which 21.25 square miles (55.05 km²) is land and 0.05 square miles (0.12 km²), or 0.21%, is water. It is drained by tributaries (Aquashicola Creek, etc.) of the Lehigh River which separates it from East Penn Township, and its southern geographic boundary is Blue Mountain.
Villages in the township include Aquashicola (locally pronounced "ack-wa-SHIK-la"), Christian Corner, Hazard, and Little Gap (which hosts the Blue Mountain Ski Area). Pennsylvania Route 248 passes through the westernmost parts of the township, following the Lehigh River, and connects Lehighton to the northwest with the Allentown–Bethlehem area to the south, as well as having nearby interchanges in Palmerton and Bowmanstown.
