Sligo Creek, just off of the C&O Canal Towpath, is a quiet, attractive stream that winds through shady patches trees and foliage. Originally named after a 19th-century crossroads settled by Irish canal workers—possibly in honor of County Sligo—the area has a rich history, once home to mills, an early waterworks, and even a short-lived amusement park.
