The 203-acre park contains bay shore grass, grassy fields, hardwood forests, small ponds, a variety of birds and animals, picnic areas, a boat ramp and many other facilities. Holts Landing was long maintained as a small farm by the Holt Family, which sold the site in 1957 to the Delaware highway department. In 1965, the land became Holts Landing State Park when it was transferred to the Delaware State Park Commission. Nearby Assawoman Canal is also part of Holts Landing. The 97-acre, 3-mile canal connects Indian River Bay with Little Assawoman Bay to the south. The canal was originally dug by hand in the 1890s.
