Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park

This is a great place to go walk with a dog or riding a bike. I've gone here many times every time. It's been great. I enjoy looking at the billy goat trail as I walk by it. I would say the best times to go is in fall or spring as in the summer and winter the weather's a little too extreme. Highly recommend bringing a dog. It's super fun

The Billy Goat Trail Section A part of this park is an amazing hike.

My friend and I spent a wonderful afternoon walking along the canal trail. The walk was flat and well maintained. Gorgeous fall views. We saw many species of birds. The other walkers were pleasant. This is one of my favorite outdoor walks in the area. Highly recommended!

My favorite getaway in the Washington area. In addition to the view of Great Falls and the C&O canal there is an extensive network of hiking trails along the river and in the old gold mine area. Entry fee is free with national park pass.

Great park and part of the C&O Canal! I like to come here to walk on the canal and hike the Billy Goat Trail.
