Great Falls Park, straddling both banks of the Potomac River, offers stunning views. The more attractive side of the park lies in Virginia rather than Maryland. Rushing whitewater pours through steep, jagged crevices into a narrow gorge. Photographers, hikers, and nature lovers find much to enjoy here. The park offers many trails, and the towpath of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal parallels the river. Fishing is allowed, but only with a valid permit. Kayaking, canoing and rafting is recommended for only the advanced outdoors-person. The Maryland side also features Great Falls Tavern with displays of canal history. One-hour round trip barge excursions are offered on a restored stretch of the canal from April to November. Review © 2009, Wcities |
