 All sections of the canal were abandoned by 1872 and the canal was officially closed in 1877 and all remaining property was sold off.Today, traces of the canal's bed remain in many areas of Northeast Ohio including Munroe Falls, Ohio and downtown Kent, Ohio, where the Cuyahoga River runs through the former canal lock.A P & O Canal aqueduct remains in southern Kent over Plum Creek just south of the Cuyahoga River.
