Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park

Maryland
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park
  • The Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center in Potomac, Maryland, collects entry fees; all other access to the park is free.
  • The park has “leave no trace” policies in place, so be sure to clean up after yourself and take away any trash.
  • Visitors are strongly cautioned to avoid entering the Potomac River, as currents can be deceptively fast-moving and dangerous.
  • The park operates a mobile app and phone tour. (Signs feature listed, toll-free numbers that offer guided park narration.)
  • Paid, private canal boat charters can be arranged via the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center.
  • Dogs must be kept on leashes, and are allowed in select areas of the park.
  • Designated camping sites are located throughout the park.
