Employment

Are you ready to bring your energy and skills to help preserve the largest national park in the Washington, DC, region? The C&O Canal National Historical Park runs 184.5 miles along the Potomac River from Washington, DC, to Cumberland, Maryland. It is beloved by the roughly five million people who use it annually for recreation, exercise, and the enjoyment of history and nature. Almost entirely fee-free, it is one of the most accessible and visited national parks in the nation, often attracting higher annual visitation than either Yellowstone or Yosemite.

The C&O Canal Trust is the official nonprofit philanthropic partner to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, working in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve and enhance the park’s natural, historical, and recreational resources. Our mission is to engage communities and inspire stewardship to support the park’s preservation for future generations. We are a passionate team driven by a love for the outdoors, cultural heritage, and public service.
