The C&O Canal Towpath in Maryland
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal begins in D.C., and extends northwest along the Potomac.
There is a trail (the towpath) along 184 miles of the canal and the
Potomac River. Much of the path is covered with gravel and dirt. It's a popular
place for walking and biking.

Mule-pulled boat on the C&O Canal
During the summer months, visitors can take a mule-drawn boat ride along part of
the canal. There are also places to rent canoes along the canal.
