Please note rescheduled date below:
Join Jon Wolz on Saturday April 9th at 10:00 am to enjoy a walk on the C&O Canal towpath to observe the peak blooms of Virginia Bluebells. We will have a choice of walks, either to the campsite at mile 38.2 and back, 4.8 miles round trip. Or we could shorten it by walking to about mile 37.5 and back, 3.8 miles round trip. All participants are invited to either bring your lunch or purchase lunch at White’s Ferry Grill at the end of the walk and enjoy an outdoor picnic.
Jon Wolz, our local expert on the C&O Canal and leader of our “pop-up” walks, has a long history with the canal. As a Montgomery Blair High School sophomore and Eagle Scout, he had already hiked the entire canal and was chosen to testify on Capitol Hill supporting a bill to protect the C&O Canal as a National Historical Park.
Since 2015 Jon has volunteered as a level walker with the C&O Canal Association (COCA). His two levels encompass the area from White’s Ferry to Monocacy Aqueduct.
