Paddle the Middle Potomac
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Paddle from Potoma (sic) Wayside, at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, or another launch site and take out at Algonkian Regional Park or Riverbend Park (both Virginia side). Camp at sites along the C & O Canal Towpath, reserve a night in a historic lockhouse (river left upstream of Point of Rocks), reserve a cabin at Algonkian Regional Park (two-night minimum) or find a B & B or hotel. This trip can be combined with hiking and bicycling.
While the "middle Potomac" is a somewhat fluid label, here we are describing a multi-day trip from the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers to Riverbend Park, above Seneca Breaks. Camping, cabin and other lodging options are easily accessible, but not always obvious from the water during full leaf-out.
