Extending along the canals between Ashley and Bristol, the Park, named by the way after the founder of the Dixie Cup Company, parallels six miles of the Lehigh River.
Visitors can spend an entire day here, learning and having fun.
Canal Boat Ride A costumed interpreter pilots a mule-drawn boat along a restored section of the Lehigh Canal. Visitors can hear the history of the canal and the surrounding area as they enjoy this hour-long ride through picturesque country. Boat rides are available during summer months. At the east end of the park, the Canal Museum features neat exhibits on canals, coal mining, and industries. History is interpreted through a wide range of artifacts, models, photographs, and audiovisual displays.
