West End Park sits right off the W&OD—an easy spot to roll in, catch some shade, and take a quick break. The path has a few root bumps, so slow down and enjoy the greenery. There’s also a water fountain where you can refill before getting back on the trail.

This small park is tucked into a wooded stream valley, just steps away from the urban bustle. Roll in on shaded trails, listen to the burbling creek, and pause on a bench for a calm moment away from traffic. You’ll find water fountains, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a small garden—perfect for a quick reset mid-ride.

The final (or beginning) mile of the C&O Canal stands here, next to the Tide Lock on the Potomac, the true birthplace of the canal. The spot is marked with a stone pillar. Stretching from Cumberland to Washington, DC, this route ends at Mile Post 0, where hikers and bikers can definitively mark the start or finish of their journey along the historic canal. The towpath follows the canal’s full 184.5 miles to its Cumberland, MD, terminus, often extending to 333 miles for those who begin in Pittsburgh on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail.

There isn't a ton of traffic on this mostly straightaway road, but there also isn't a shoulder to bike on — so stay alert for vehicles.
