Muskingum River State Park Description

The Muskingum River Parkway State Park has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized as the Muskingum River Navigation Historic District. In its day, the system of locks and dams, which extends 112 miles through southeastern Ohio, helped open the state and the entire Midwest to trade and development. It is the only remaining complete system of hand-operated locks in the nation; these locks are still operated for recreational boats. There is no fee to lock through. Visitors may enjoy watching the river from the park's picnic shelter south of Lock#7 on State Rout
