It’s time for another Pop-up Walk! Join Jon Wolz on Monday, November 14th (Rain Date Friday 11/18) at 10:00 a.m., as he once again takes us on a historical walk along the C&O Canal. Meet at the parking lot at Lock 25 (Edwards Ferry) mile 30.84—Walk down the towpath to mile 30.64 and continue to the Goose Creek River Lock to the Potomac River. Walk back up to the towpath and down to mile 30.5 the Chisel Branch campground to view the Potomac River. Then walk up the towpath to mile 31.94 to view the Broad Run Trunk (Wooden Aqueduct). Walk back down the towpath to lock 25. Round trip walk is about three miles.
