This hike is located in the C & O Canal National Historic Park only 30 minutes away from the Capital Beltway. On this hike you will pass historic canal locks, some of which are still in use, beautiful water views, including the chute of Great Falls, and a wonderful, rocky landscape which provides stunning scenery. Great Falls is a beautiful waterfall with intense raging water through Mather Gorge. Later on the hike, there are calm water views on the canal downstream. You will find rich history in the park as you hike past the old canal locks, historic buildings, and take the guided tours available here.
