The view is worth the hike! Be aware that many pet owners do not clean up after their dogs even though there are bags available to use. $20 entry fee. 🧾 Definitely bring water to stay hydrated. I enjoyed the sounds of nature. 🏞️

The falls are beautiful and a sight to see. You can stay 30 minutes or spend a couple hours depending on what you want to do here. This park is for all ages.

Enjoyed a beautiful fall Sunday afternoon. Walking paths were wide open...so nice to see all sorts of visitors enjoying the natio al park. I live near the Williamsport C&O headquarters and had never been this far south. We will definitely be coming back!

Great overlook to the Great Falls. It is a reasonable small hike from the Tavern. In summer, there is canal boat tour, the boat is pulled by mules. What I liked most is the Billy goat trail. It is a rather difficult trail which runs on the boulder along the Potomac River Gorge, plus a small section of rock scramble, but the view is marvelous especially in the fall.

Very nice building. Lots of information on the C&O canal and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
