The canal that has historic remnants in Beaver Creek State Park, did remain operational until a later date than the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
The Sandy and Beaver Canal ran 73 mi from the Ohio and Erie Canal at Bolivar, Ohio, to the Ohio River at Glasgow, Pennsylvania. 
 The canal ceased to operate in 1852, when the Cold Run Reservoir Dam outside of Lisbon, Ohio, broke, ruining a large portion of the canal. 
The Los Angeles Aqueduct system, comprising the Los Angeles Aqueduct (Owens Valley aqueduct) and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct, is a water conveyance system, built and operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. 
 The system delivers water from the Owens River in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains to Los Angeles, California. 
 In 1971 it was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers on the List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks. 
 Historic remnants of the Sandy and Beaver Canal can be found throughout the park.
