The park was developed as part of an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control project, which dammed the Pohopoco Creek, a tributary to the Lehigh River. The dam, which is visible on the far right, created Beltzville Lake (or Reservoir), which is utilized for flood control, recreation, and water supply. DRBC owns water supply storage in the lake, which is used to augment the Delaware River in times of low flow. Photo by DRBC. The Brandywine Creek travels through Pennsylvania's Chester and Delaware Counties before emptying into the Christina River in Wilmington, Delaware. The creek played several important roles in American history; for example, its paper mills supplied paper to print the Declaration of Independence. Brandywine Creek State Park in Wilmington was created in 1965 from a dairy farm once owned by the du Pont family.

In 1974, over 60-miles of the canal and adjacent land were made a state park, the D&R Canal State Park.
