This historic trail connects Georgetown DC to West Virginia and beyond. Great for biking. Take it 60 miles to the Paw Paw tunnel or to Cumberland, MD for a weekend getaway. B+B stops along the way.

Perfect path for a long trail run. Choice of dirt trail or pavement along the Potomac. Start in Georgetown (corner of 35th & M) and run NW.

Historic path is perfect for walking, running, or biking. Long lost gems dot the route.

Bald Eagles, the Potomac, and a sense of history are all a part of this hiking experience.

The trail in Maryland by Glen Echo is relatively tame but beautiful.
