1. The Canal Marker
In 1909 “The Canal” was begun by W.A. Smith to connect the new Rhododendron Lake and the existing Rainbow Lake. The canal allowed visitors to Laurel Park to take excursions between the two lakes on gondola type boats. This section of the park represents the last vestiges of the old canal.Erected 2012 by Laurel Park Civic Association.
