Visitors can explore charming shops, enjoy local eateries, and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. The C&O Canal, a historic waterway, passes right through town, offering opportunities for scenic boat launches or peaceful walks along the towpath.

The Paw Paw Tunnel was constructed over 14 years, and in effort to save 6 miles of construction, is located in a place of steep, rocky terrain. This proved to be challenging for creation and use of the tunnel. Delays of construction can be attributed to both violence among the workers and a general underestimation of the difficult nature of the project, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was nearly bankrupted by the end.

Stretching for over 16.7 miles, it winds through the Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area before emptying into Sleepy Creek itself. You can enjoy the scenic beauty of the stream and the surrounding woodlands as you explore this wonderful area.

Reaching Devil's Nose requires a hike, but the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views. This jagged jut of sandstone towers over Meadow Branch Creek. You can choose from a short, moderately challenging out-and-back trail that leads directly to the overlook, or opt for a longer loop trail that incorporates sections of the historic Tuscarora Trail and offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains.

If you are looking for a weekend getaway at a resort with great views and activities for everyone, give consideration to Cacapon Resort State Park. Open year-round, the park covers over 6,000 wooded acres and offers several options for lodging.

The park was initially constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s, but additions and renovations continued throughout the decades.

The Potomac River stretches 405 miles and crosses the borders of four states (Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland).

The Potomac River is the fourth largest river along the Atlantic coast.

The Paw Paw Tunnel was constructed over 14 years, and in effort to save 6 miles of construction, is located in a place of steep, rocky terrain. This proved to be challenging for creation and use of the tunnel. Delays of construction can be attributed to both violence among the workers and a general underestimation of the difficult nature of the project, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was nearly bankrupted by the end. The tunnel was primarily used by canal boats until the closure of the C&O company in 1924. Now, it is appreciated by visitors for its product of impressive engineering nestled in the topography of the park's natural scenic beauty.
