Landsford Canal State Park

Landsford Canal built to bypass rapids on the Catawba River using slave labor between 1820 and 1825. 445 acres of land.

The Landsford Canal, technically a navigation channel parallel to the line of a watercourse, opened in 1823 with the purpose of bypassing rapids along the Catawba River in order to allow efficient freight transport and rapid travel between nearby communities and settlements along the rural frontiers of the era. This was the canal, it's amazing to walk through these wall that once carried boats.
