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.

Cumberland

Riding back into the city after a nice afternoon bike ride down the bike path. Later on in the afternoon, I rode a ways into the Notch and the Great Allegheny Passage.

Exploring Paw Paw

While the Paw Paw Tunnel is really neat and worth while, there isn't an awful lot across the river in the village of Paw Paw. A Dollar General, a Post Office and some houses but not much of a Main Street. But still worth poking around this small town.
