Stone aqueduct carrying the historic C&O Canal over Catoctin Creek — ideal for compositions combining 19th-century masonry, flowing water reflections, seasonal foliage and the towpath’s leading lines. Visit at golden hour or after rain for rich reflections; autumn and spring offer the best color. Accessible by a short walk from nearby parking on the towpath; no entry fee. Expect uneven footing near the creek and limited facilities; weekdays and early mornings are quieter.
