Growing up in the Washington, DC area has given me the pleasure of a lifetime of memories at the C&O Canal. This canal is 185 miles long and it starts in Georgetown and goes all the way along the Potomac River west through Maryland.
I've learned how to canoe, bicycle, and rock climb along the different section of the C&O Canal's towpath. I would love to eventually share information on all the different sections of the canal. There is so much history to see and experience in addition to all the different sporting activities you can do along the towpath.
Here are a couple winter time pictures I took walking along the section from Swains Lock to Great Falls. There are nice opportunities to view the Potomac River along this section. Swains Lock has free parking and is around 2 miles from Great Falls where the parking costs money. So if you're a walker and you want to see the falls for free, park here and hoof it!

Thanks for reading! If you have a National Parks Passport Book, then you should visit the Great Falls Visitor Center for a stamp.
