Part of the Clemson Horticulture Team recently visited the Landsford Canal State Park in Chester County. It was established in 1970 when Duke Power donated 194 acres. The park has now grown to 448 acres and contains the original 2 miles of the Landsford Canal. The canal was built between 1820 and 1825 to bypass the Catawba River rapids. The rocky shoals of the Catawba River contain one of the largest populations of the Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies.
