Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Long, tree-lined towpath, historic locks, lockhouses and calm canal reflections along the Potomac create classic landscape and historical-composition opportunities. Best at golden hour and pre-dawn for mist and reflections; fall for foliage; spring for wildflowers. Towpath is mostly flat but can be uneven and muddy; park is free and open year-round (check visitor center hours at Great Falls). Parking available at nearby lots but can fill on weekends—weekday mornings offer solitude.
