It includes the Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The aqueduct underwent a $2 million restoration, completed in August 2009, which brought it back to navigable condition.
The remains of the original 1825 canal ("Clinton's Ditch") can also be viewed from a nature trail.
The exact midpoint of the original Albany-Buffalo canal route is located in the park and denoted with a sign.
A separate display at the park features a Corliss steam engine rescued from a downtown Syracuse factory.
