one of the sights in the National Mall

The National Mall is a wonderful place in Washington. Naturally, it is very popular.

The Little Falls Dam is the spot that separates the Upper Potomac River and Lower Potomac River. It was constructed in 1959.

This towpath is as much about the journey as the destination. Cruise past historic locks, aqueducts, and shady woodlands along a trail with gentle grades and rich history. Pause at scenic river overlooks or old lockhouses for a quick rest.

Wonderful

Lock 22, aka Pennyfield Lock, was built between 1829 and 1831, and the name came from the misspelling of the Pennifield family name. It has been restored and offers overnight stays to recreate the rustic feeling from that period.

Enjoy easy access to the Great Falls, a popular destination for photographers, hikers, and expert kayakers. Though not exceptionally tall, the falls surge with force as the Potomac River carves through ancient, metamorphic rock.

Lock 21, aka Swains Lock, is a lock house and campsite. It was built in the 1830s and transported items such as grain and coal between Georgetown and Cumberland. It was named after the Swain family and John Swain, who helped build the canal, and Jesse Swain, the lockkeeper. The family lived here until 2006.
