    Tips

    August 30, 2024

    Section C of the Billy Goat Trail is located in Potomac, Maryland, and is a popular hiking route known for its scenic river views and relatively easier terrain. Stretching 1.6 miles, this section is less challenging than Section A and features wooded paths, some rock outcroppings, and a small waterfall, making it ideal for hikers looking to enjoy nature without the technical demands of the other sections. Pets are allowed on this trail.

    The Billy Goat Trail is divided into three sections: A, B, and C, each with distinct characteristics. While Section A is known for its technical difficulty and Section B is currently closed due to flood damage (as of summer, 2024), Section C offers a more accessible hike. Parking for Section C is available at the Carderock recreation area.
