Beaver Marsh is a thriving wetland with a long history. Land development drained the original wetland in the 1800s. The Ohio & Erie Canal came through. In the early 1900s, a dairy farm was located near Lock 26. Later, an auto repair shop and salvage yard operated along Riverview Road. When the park bought the land, it relocated the old cars. In 1984, Sierra Club hauled away accumulated trash. About the same time, beavers restored natural water levels, awakening long-dormant seeds in the soil. Wetland plants returned, creating habitat for wildlife. Today, Beaver Marsh is one of the most diverse natural communities in CVNP, making it a top spot for photography, birdwatching, and enjoying nature.
