Canal Park Trail Riverfront Revitalization

under construction

The Canal Park Trail is a new riverfront project in Zanesville, Ohio, funded by a $1.1 million state grant. The trail will run along the Muskingum River from East Main Street through Muskingum River State Park to the historic Lock and Dam #10. It will feature benches, picnic tables, an ADA-accessible kayak launch, a deck overlooking the river, an amphitheater for public events, educational kiosks, stone seat walls, lighting, and landscaping. The project aims to boost outdoor recreation and downtown revitalization in Ohio's Appalachian region and eventually connect to other paths creating a continuous paved route from South Zanesville to Dresden.
