Aside from its natural beauty, the park is special for its history. A portion of the park was once part of a canal system from the early 1800s.

Today, some canal locks remain in the park. They were once used to close off sections of the waterway in order to raise or lower the water level, allowing boats to pass through.
The 2.5- mile Dogwood Trail is particularly scenic and popular. It takes a little over an hour to complete and winds its way through a seemingly enchanted forest.
