Landsford Canal State Park is a South Carolina state park located in Chester County, two miles from US 21. The 460 acre park contains the ruins of a canal built to bypass rapids on the Catawba River using slave labor between 1820 and 1825. The coming of the railroad caused the canal to be abandoned. The former lock-keeper's house contains an interpretive museum. The park offers hiking, picnicking, boating, and fishing.
