Reviews
"Great safe place to bring your kids for a walk and some trout fishing. There is a big open field where the kids can run around, there is a paved trail, and the ruins from the old furnace buildings are pretty cool. In April the bluebell flowers, and in the fall is gorgeous as well."
"Really cool place to walk around. Inside is closed this time of year only open may - September on weekends. We were the only ones there on a Sunday afternoon. It was cold any windy but still worth the walk."
"Such amazing architecture! It really is a quaint place for a walk and has great backdrops for photos. FYI, it tends to get very busy on the weekends during the fall months, so plan ahead!"
"I visited the Lock Ridge Furnace Museum for the first time on Wednesday June 12, 2019 after discovering it that morning on Google Maps. Thank you Google Maps! I had never even heard of it before that day. There must be many more gems in the Lehigh Valley that I am not aware of. Well anyway, the park did not disappoint. The museum itself was closed as well as the public restroom building. I think they are open on the weekends. I’ll have to make a point to return during business house. Bring your camera because there’s lot to see. It’s a mini Stonehenge right in the middle of Alburtis Pennsylvania. The remains of this old foundry make for interesting photographic subjects. Note the unique designs on the main building. The grounds are clean and well kept. There was a maintenance crew working on pipes while I was there. The paths are paved which is nice so you don’t have to track mud back into your car. I don’t have a dog but there was a person walking theirs and he did a clean up after his dog. I saw a small garden, not colorful, but very nice. Parking is free in their small lot and it is handicap-accessible. The sound from the waterfalls along the pathway was quite peaceful. This visit to the Lock Ridge park was very enjoyable and I would visit again when in the area."
