Love canoeing down the creek and i LOVE the memorials. Thank god nobody has graffitied them.

Great place to go. You can call on canal Rd. It used to be free and i think it still does is but there was a donation box put in from what I can recall but that was years ago and I'm not even sure if it's still there. You have the aqueduct about 1/4 Mile up the canal and it's way easier for little kids to play in the creek right before it stops into the Potomac River. Also the main source of food in the area is Battleview Market or you could cross the bridge into west Virginia and go to food Lion but i highly recommended going to Battleview. It may be more expensive but there subs are to die for and also have breakfast lunch and dinner. You can eat in our take it to go.

Very clean and peaceful. There are trails and paths for cyclist. A beautiful tree canopy provides shelter from sun's rays and the rain.

A great place to take out if you put your kayaks in at Burnside Bride road. The bank is steep but easily navigable. Parking is at will and has no marked spots. Beware: some people may not like you parking next to them and leave passive aggressive notes.

Stopped here on the way from PGH to Baltimore. Summer Road Trip. It was a bit further off the highway than it looks. It turned out to be a nice lunch stop. There was picnic tables, and a nice bathroom. Boats were coming and going regularly. The descriptions of the history of the area were nice. I can't believe people built all that just to shave time on their trip down the river.

Our group rode our bikes from Pittsburgh to Washington DC last week. We traveled on The Great Allegheny Trail and The C&O Towpath. Amazing trip (scenery and history).

Beautiful locale. Excellent fishing. Nice kayaking or boating spot.
