Riley’s Lock is a fun, happening place. Every time I pass by it is bustling with activity. There are two row boat clubs along Seneca creek. There are kayak, jet ski and canoe rentals, there is a pub with live music every Sunday, there are Girl Scouts at the lock house. People swimming in the canal and sunbathing by the river. As of mid-April the NPS has not turned on the water fountain though, something really important for Cyclists. There was a woman at the lock that handed me a bottle of water and saved my bacon as I had another 15 miles to go on the MTB to get to my car and was seriously considering drinking the Seneca creek.
