As the chief engineer of the Ohio & Erie Canal from 1825 to 1832, Howe played a pivotal role in completing the canal stretch from Cleveland to Massillon. His tasks were monumental: engineering and designing the canal prism and locks between these two cities. One of his standout achievements was the creation of the fifteen-step lift locks nestled in the Cascade Locks Park, a feat of ingenuity and perseverance.
Today, the Cascade Locks Park offers a serene escape with walking trails that meander through lush greenery and historical remnants. Visitors can explore the park's scenic beauty while reflecting on the engineering marvels that transformed the region nearly two centuries ago. It's not just a walk through nature; it's a stroll through history.
