Canoeing - Not interested in the rapids and thrills of whitewater? Experience the river like Lewis & Clark in a timeless tradition of American transportation-the canoe. Paddling a canoe offers a more intimate excursion on the Potomac River and allows you to travel at your own pace. Experience the unique heritage of this region from the view of a canoe. There's plenty to see and explore, so bring your binoculars. With the C&O Canal towpath meandering on the left shoreline, keep your eyes open for osprey, bald eagles, great blue herons, and turtles. Discover the ecology of the many small islands in the Potomac with the Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop. Enjoy the peace only a fishing pole can provide as you attempt to reel in a smallmouth bass on a quiet, calm stretch of water. Whether you have all day to relax on the water or just a few hours, a canoe trip lets you personalize your time on the river. Canoe trips are available only on weekdays.
