Great Falls Park, an 800acre park located along the Potomac River, is one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The natural beauty of Great Falls is unmatched with its series of steep, jagged rocks that flow through the narrow Mather Gorge. The park's close proximity to downtown Washington, DC make it a prime place to visit and it is very popular with local residents and tourists. The park has two locations: one in Maryland and the other in Northern Virginia. Both locations are beautiful and offer multiple places to view the river.
Great Falls Park offers a variety of recreational activities including hiking, picnicking, kayaking, rock climbing, bicycling, and horseback riding. The falls cascade into 20foot waterfalls displaying the steepest fall line rapids of any eastern river.
C&O Canal Towpath
Many people refer to the towpath, but what is it exactly? The towpath is the dirt and stone path that runs 184.5 miles along the C&O Canal, where visitors can walk, run, or bike the distance between Georgetown and Cumberland, MD. It was originally built for the canal mules to walk beside the canal as they “towed” the canal boats through the waterway. Today, it is a popular recreational trail.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, abbreviated as the C&O Canal and occasionally called the Grand Old Ditch, operated from 1831 until 1924 along the Potomac River between Washington, D.C. and Cumberland, Maryland. It replaced the Potomac Canal, which shut down completely in 1828, and could operate during months in which the water level was too low for the former canal. The canal's principal cargo was coal from the Allegheny Mountains.
