Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal forms the core of the City of Easton's Hugh Moore Park. Named for Hugh Moore (1887-1972), founder of the Dixie Cup Company, the park was an important transportation and industrial site in the nineteenth century. In 1962, Moore provided funds to purchase six miles of canal and adjacent land from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. Stretching along the Lehigh River from Hopesville in Bethlehem Township to the junction of the Lehigh, Delaware, and Morris Canals at Easton, the park contains 260 acres, including several islands, and an equal amount of water area. It is devoted to preserving and interpreting America's canal and industrial revolution eras, and includes the only fully restored portion of a towpath canal in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Within it are three operating locks and other canal structures, the last locktender's house built on the Lehigh Navigation, and nineteenth-century industrial ruins.
