Description
The C and O Trail travels along the old canal towpath from the DC area into Western Maryland. For those with mountain bikes, this can be a great place to ride. We used to pedal along this trail all the time. Recently these old lock houses have been upgraded so that people can now spend the night in an historic lock house along the C&O Canal. Before it was a national park, the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal was one of a network of American canals dug during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to form water highways for commercial trade. These canals were part of the great Industrial Revolution. This trail was likely one of the initial trails and gave folks the idea of rail-trails that replaced abandoned railroad right-of-ways
