Travelling along the main road, the Shenandoah Canal is a wonderful sight when visiting Harpers Ferry. While many may find the algae off-putting, it is a natural and healthy part of ecosystem in maintaining a fresh environment for the local fauna. That said, many species of wildlife are typically found along the canal, such as ducks, geese, heron, turtles, and sometimes deer.

Just be careful here. Make sure you hose yourself down with deet cause this is a breeding ground for skeeters. Other than that a cool place to come across while hiking.

Always quite on weekdays. Love the serene feelings. Bug spray a must. Not near potty.

Good canal But be careful so you dont fall in the alge water 2017

A cool piece of history.
