  I love the tow path, but I'm afraid the long period of record wet weather has taken a bit of a toll on the path's condition. I'm a frequent visitor to the section near Point of Rocks and there is a growing number of spots that are draining poorly.
  
  Still though, such a valuable asset to the region. Look for the eagle's nest just north of the Maryland boat ramp at Point of Rocks, on the island in the river.

  I really liked the hiker/biker campground that I stayed at. Level and flat. Easy access from road before trip. Toilet paper stocked.

  If you haven't walked along the Potomac here, you don't know what your missing. Very picturesque. Situated across from Harpers Ferry. Get there off hours, very limited parking along Keep Tryst Road.

  The canal is one of the most accessible park area in the DC area. The canal towpath is almost completely flat and can be easily walked or biked. The trail isn’t paved, so wheel chair access would be bumpy but not impossible. Expect to see some birds and small wildlife. Views of the Potomac are slightly obstructed but the sound of the river adds great ambiance.

  All visitors to the metro area should walk along the C&O and visit Great Falls Park across the Potomac. View the majestic falls from either side for an awe-inspiring experience. A beautiful natural place right in the city. For more solitude go out farther on the trail. A treat for walking or biking. Visit Carderock for climbing and the Billy Goat Trail for scrambling. Take your kayak to paddle.
