Event information
The C&O Canal National Historical Park winds 184.5 miles from Georgetown in Washington, DC to Cumberland in beautiful western Maryland. The trail, a mostly well-kept towpath nestled between the Potomac River and the canal, is a trip through history, with 74 lift locks, restored lock houses, aqueducts, and the amazing mile-long Paw Paw tunnel. Walkers will enjoy spectacular scenery, beautiful river vistas, and wildlife along the trail. Pick your distance from a leisurely 5K on Sunday afternoon to a 300K camping adventure.
