C&O Canal Towpath 📍

The C&O Canal Towpath is a rugged 184.5-mile trail that follows the course of the C&O Canal. This trail allows people to stroll, jog, or cycle between Georgetown and Cumberland, Maryland. Initially constructed for the mules that towed canal boats along the waterway, it has evolved into a well-liked recreational path for modern-day outdoor enthusiasts.

Lock 75

There is a remarkable amount of locks along the Cumberland and Ohio Canal. I can only imagine the staff needed to keep it running being a major cost of operations.

Paw Paw

When I was exploring the Paw Paw tunnel, I took the bike path from the main C&O Canal Trail and poked around Paw, Paw, WV for a while. Not a lot to see there for sure.
