Hugh Moore Park

Hugh Moore Park in Easton, PA offers a captivating glimpse into America’s canal history, featuring over two miles of restored Lehigh Canal, a unique canal boat attraction, and one of the largest canal heritage museums in the U.S. The 520-acre park, nestled between the Lehigh Canal and Lehigh River, is home to the National Canal Museum and the 110-passenger Josiah White II canal boat, which provides hands-on exhibits about 19th-century canal life and technology. Recent enhancements include a playground, bike skills course, dog park, and multi-use path. Visitors can rent bikes, canoes, paddleboats, and kayaks from the Welcome Center. The park boasts numerous trails along the river and canal, both paved and unpaved, and is situated on the D&L Trail between Allentown and Easton. In addition to the canal boat and museum, visitors can explore bridges, the river and canal, machinery from deserted locks, sculptures, foliage, flowers, and wildlife. A wide-angle lens is recommended for photography, and a telephoto lens may be useful for capturing deer or other wildlife. The park is easily accessible, and the combination of hiking and photographic opportunities makes it a worthwhile trip.

George W. Childs Park

Posted on October 20, 2025 by Bob Hahn Photography

George W. Childs Park, part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, was named after philanthropist George W. Childs, who purchased the land in 1892 to create a public park. His widow deeded the land to Pennsylvania in 1912. The park features expansive hemlock groves, cascading waterfalls, a picnic area, comfort facilities, and a short hiking trail. The site includes three main waterfalls: Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, and Deer Leap Falls. Visitors must stay on the trail, and pets, swimming, and wading are not permitted. The trail follows Dingmans Creek through a lush ravine, past the ruins of a mill and structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Factory Falls was once home to a woolen mill run by the Brooks family from 1823 to 1832. Fulmer Falls features a rustic pavilion built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and Deer Leap Falls is the final waterfall on the trail.

Its proprietary ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating virtually eliminates ghosts and flares from backlit scenes. And its precision optics maintains pin-point sharp resolution right up to the edges of the frame – even at a wide-open f1.8 aperture.

Sealed For Perfection

The M.Zuiko PRO 8mm fisheye is surprisingly rugged. There’s a weather-sealing in five separate locations and it’s freezeproof down to 14°F (-10°C).
