With over 1,300 historic structures and continuous stretches of waterfront vistas, the canal requires constant attention and care from both park maintenance and management staff.
The park also offers a variety of ranger programs. These may include living history, canal boat rides, special events, and interpretive talks about nature and geography unique to the area.
