Troop 349 Biking Campout down the 55 miles on the C&O Canal Towpath Harper’s Ferry, WV to Washington, DC Sat & Sun, May 21-22, 2011 Deadline for permission slip & payment: Tuesday, May 17 www.Troop349.us 1 Discription: Before you start this epic journey, prepare yourself with some shorter trips. The towpath is not paved - the surface is clay and crushed stone – and is a bit rough. The 184.5 mile-long Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, located along the north bank of the Potomac River, runs from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD. The canal was built between 1828 and 1850, and it operated until 1924. In 1971 the canal became a National Historic Park. Today, much of the canal has been drained of water and reclaimed by the forest. However, the canal's towpath remains a favorite of hikers, joggers, and bicyclists. Hiker- biker campsites contain a water pump and jiffy john. Campsites are chosen on a first come, first-serve basis. C&O Canal Bicycling Guide Mile 40 thru 50 This section contains the beautiful Monocacy Aqueduct, a 500 foot, seven arch, stone bridge used to carry the canal over the Monocacy River. The aqueduct took 4 years to build and was completed in 1833. Next to the tunnel at Paw-Paw (mile 155), is this probably the second most impressive structure on the canal. In the 1970s, the Park service erected temporary exo- skeleton supports around the aqueduct due to damage caused by repeated flooding. In 2005, aqueduct repairs were finally completed, and so the exo-skeleton has been removed. The only other point of interest that you "might" see in this section is the Dickerson power plant (mile 41). In 1992, a training course was built in the power plant's warm water discharge spillway for the US Olympic Kayak Team. You might be able to see it through the chain-link gate at the south side of the complex. Trail conditions are historically poor in the mile or two prior to the town of Point-of- Rocks, Maryland. Expect to navigate around many mud holes in this section. The rest of the path is typically in good shape. Access to the town of Point-of-Rocks is by way of a small, wooden, one-lane bridge over the canal bed. The town is mainly a collection of run down homes. However, there are two stores/deli's about a block off the towpath. This makes the town a good lunch/re-supply stop. www.Troop349.us 2 Just after the wooden bridge, the C&O Canal passes through the Catoctin Mountain Range. During the canal construction, the B&O Railroad mounted an unsuccessful legal challenge for the narrow right-of-way through this pass. As a result, the railroad was forced to tunnel through the mountain. After the canal failed, the railroad built a second track in the abandoned canal bed. However, the towpath is still intact through the pass. Access Points from westbound Route 28: 39.6: Dickerson Regional Park - make left turn onto Martinsburg Rdat yellow flashing light. Park is on the right after about 2 miles (at bottom of long hill) 42.1: Monocacy Aqueduct - make left turn onto Mouth of Monocacy Rd (about 1 mile past Dickerson, MD). 44.6: Nolands Ferry - (near Tuscarora, MD). Easy access from Route 28 via Noland Road or New Design Road. Access Points from Route 15: 48.2: Point of Rocks, MD - located right on the north side of the Potomac River Bridge, at the intersection with Route 28. After turning off Route 15, make immediate right turn and follow short road behind homes to the canal. www.Troop349.us 3 Mile Name Info Dickerson 39.8 Access from Martinsburg Rd.

The canal bed here is no longer watered and thus has been completely reclaimed by forest growth. This makes the towpath quite shady, which is great during the summer months, but it does greatly limit the scenery. Also, the wide towpath you had enjoyed eventually changes into a dual track trail Expect to see a bunch of wildlife, including towpath favorites such as deer, rabbits, and the occasional fox. The first hiker-biker campsites also begin in this section. Each site contains a water pump and jiffy john. Campsites are chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis. The major point of interest in this section is Whites Ferry, the only working ferry on the Potomac. You can use the ferry to cross over to Leesburg, Va ($1 for bikes, $3 for cars) where lodging is available. Leesburg is about 4 miles from White's Ferry via Business Route 15. Route 15 is a very busy highway, however there are now paved shoulders along the busiest section. Access Points from River Road: 27.2: Mckee-Beshers Wildlife Area - after passing Hughes Rd, make the first left onto Sycamore Landing Rd. A parking area is located about 0.75 miles down this gravel road. Access Points from Poolesvile, MD: 30.8: Edwards Ferry - take Whites Ferry Road (Route 107) west for about 1 mile. Turn left on Edwards Ferry Road. Follow to end (about 4.5 miles). 35.5: Whites Ferry - take Whites Ferry Road west Route between Whites Ferry and (Route 107) for about 6 miles.

X Park www.Troop349.us 7 C&O Canal Bicycling Guide Mile 10 thru 25 This is probably the most heavily used section of the canal. Generally, the towpath here is in excellent condition, and the canal basin still contains water. In April 2006, after more than 30 years, the Widewater towpath breach (between mile 12.6 and 13.7) was finally repaired (much rejoicing!). As a result, you no longer need to carry your bike up and down the stairs to use the Berma Rd detour (although this is still a nice alternative route). The major point of interest in this section is Great Falls, located at mile 14. During nice weather, this area is crawling with folks out to enjoy hiking on the challenging Billy Goat Trail, rock climbing in Mather Gorge, kayaking in the Potomac rapids below Great Falls, or just enjoying a stroll along the towpath. Use caution and be courteous around the pedestrians. Once you pass Great Falls, the towpath quickly becomes less crowded. Swain's Lock is a nice place to stop for a break. At mile 22.8 are the remains of the Seneca Creek Aqueduct. This three arch aqueduct is the first of eleven such structures along the canal. The western most arch was destroyed by a local thunderstorm flood on Sept 11, 1971. Access from the Capital Beltway: Take exit 41 (on Maryland Side of American Legion Bridge). Follow Clara Barton Parkway towards Carderock. The following areas are accessible: 10.4: Carderock - about 1 mile from beltway. Follow signs to recreation area. 12.6: Old Angler's Inn - follow Clara Barton Pkwy to end (at tee) Make left on to MaCarthur Blvd. Parking available about 1 mile ahead on left, across the street from the Inn.

    Discover the Potomac Gorge: A National Treasure n the outskirts of Washington, D.C., O the Potomac River passes through a landscape of surprising beauty and ecological significance. Here, over many millennia, an unusual combination of natural forces has produced a unique corridor known as the Potomac Gorge. This 15-mile river stretch is one of the country’s most biologically diverse areas, home to more than 1,400 plant species. Scientists have identified at least 30 distinct natural vegetation communities, several of which are globally rare and imperiled. The Gorge also supports a rich array of animal life, from rare invertebrates to the bald eagle and fish like the American shad. g g n n In total, the Potomac Gorge provides habitat to i i m m e e l l F F more than 200 rare plant species and natural .

All rights reserved. Separating Maryland and Virginia, the mighty Potomac River takes a dramatic plunge through Mather Gorge in Great Falls National Park. The river drops over 70 feet in less than one quarter of a mile through raging waters and house sized rocks before snaking its way past 100 foot cliffs and into Washington D.C. and then finally the Chesapeake Bay. The scenery in the park is amazing and the wildlife is not so bad either. Come June, the Great Blue Herons return to the park and dazzle visitors with their daredevil fishing tactics below the big falls in Mather Gorge. The park is laced with trails for the adventurous photographer including the Billy Goat Trail on the Maryland side and the River Trail on the Virginia side of the Park. The Billy Goat trail climbs across rugged rocks and steep cliffs bordering the Potomac River and is not to be missed when visiting the Park. In the warmer months, brave Kayakers surf the rapids below the falls and if you’re lucky you may even catch them taking free fall drops over the largest drops. A sight to be seen! Places To Shoot There are a few favorite places of mine to shoot in the Park. On the Virginian side, there are 3 great overlooks that give an aerial view of Mather Gorge. Sunrise is my favorite time to shoot on the Virginia side as you will most likely have the park to yourself and probably get some nice mist rising off the river in the early morning hours.

    ALONG THE TOWPATH A quarterly publication of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Association An independent, non-profit, all-volunteer citizens association established in 1954 supporting the conservation of the natural and historical environment of the C&O Canal and the Potomac River Basin. VOLUME XLVI March 2014 Number 1 DOUGLAS MEMORIAL WEEKEND By Marjorie Richman, on behalf of the Program Committee Join us for a weekend of camaraderie, great food and canal hiking during April 25 through 27 as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Justice William O. Douglas' memorable hike to save the C&O Canal. This year’s Douglas celebration will feature two nights of camping at a private campground in Williamsport and two days of bus- supported towpath hiking. For non-campers there is a choice of convenient nearby lodging options so you don’t have to miss the fun. The traditional Douglas dinner and program will be held on Saturday at the Potomac Fish and Game Club. We will be camping at the Hagerstown/Antietam KOA campground, located about four miles from the center of Williamsport at the end of a scenic country road. This site features campsites along the Conococheague Creek. A pavilion is available for our gatherings and happy hours. The campground is far enough from the interstate so that quiet nights are guaranteed. There are clean bathrooms, showers, a laundry room, plenty of parking, and electricity and water at each campsite. There are also accommodations at the campground for people who prefer to have a roof over their heads. Non-campers can reserve cabins located within yards of the tent sites.
