Authentic Canal Experiences (Copy)
Although the canal stopped operating one hundred years ago, you can still step back in time and experience what life was like on the C&O Canal during its heyday. You’ll find a multitude of authentic canal experiences, historic structures you can visit or book a night’s stay in, and even canal boat rides, with and without mules.
You can read more about all of the authentic canal experiences on this itinerary here, or copy this itinerary by clicking “Duplicate” above and use it to explore the C&O Canal! (You have to be logged in to use the itinerary builder. Learn how here.)
