About This Activity
Leader: Stephanie Mason Enjoy these leisurely walks on the Towpath along close-in portions of the C&O Canal National Historical Park. The focus of our walks, starting from different locations, will be the general natural history of the varied habitats along the Potomac River and Canal. We’ll proceed at a slow “naturalist’s shuffle” as we experience the wondrous unfolding of spring in nearby woods and wetlands. We’ll stop often to observe birds, wildflowers and other plants, butterflies, snakes, turtles, and whatever else we might find. The Towpath is flat, but could be muddy and/or uneven. Access to the Towpath at Riley's Lock includes climbing a steep incline or set of stairs.
