C&O MILE 14- 800 acres of National Park along the C&O, overlooking the Falls of the Potomac, a spectacular rushing series of waterfalls and islands easily viewed from a series of walkways and bridges .
Love this hike . No matter which part. We did the Georgetown end and the Great Falls area. Loved it. Super dog friendly !
Take the river trail - just to right of falls overlook off the towpath. About 2 miles round trip. Great easy hike for young ones. Saw several deer and birds.
Make sure you visit the MD side vs the VA side . The view is much much better ????????
Superintendent Kevin Brandt and his staff are very helpful, friendly and super awesome indeed By The Way.
Canal historians estimate approximately 35,000 laborers helped dig the canal as well as build aqueducts, culverts, locks, lock houses, etc.
It took 22 years to build the canal from Georgetown , DC to Cumberland, MD. Much of the workforce were immigrants from Ireland and western Europe.
Take a tour on the canal via the mule drawn ferry .
The awesome location is very good and awesome
????❤️️ worth the view
Check out the flood patterns.
Look at the beautiful falls over the bridge near to the VA side .
