Canal and White River State Park is an urban state park in Indianapolis, Indiana. Restoration on this area began in the late 1980's. The Central Canal has undergone a remarkable transformation; twenty years ago it was an abandoned creek. The Canal was originally engineered in the 1830's as a way to ship goods through the state of Indiana, but the project went bankrupt and the Indianapolis section of the Canal was the only section that was ever dug. Although the Canal was never used for what it was built for, modern beautification and preservation through the years has ensured that it will remain a historical landmark in Indianapolis.
