🚴 Wednesday Wanders: Fall Colors and River Views Bike Ride 🍁
Dargan's Bend Boat Launch, C&O Canal, 1812 Back Road, Sharpsburg MD 21783, MD, US🚴 DESCRIPTION:
Join us for a midweek ride along the C&O Canal Towpath. This section is extremely scenic, with the mighty Potomac on one side and mostly wilderness on the other, where the canal used to be. There are some gorgeous rocky outcroppings just behind the trees, some old furnaces cut
into the cliff faces, and some nice paths winding down to the river.
The trail is very flat with a slight uphill grade on the first leg and a slight downhill grade coming back. The surface is the new crushed limestone so almost any bike will be fine.🌿 WHAT WE'LL DO:
We’ll pedal from Dargan Bend Boat Ramp toward Shepherdstown, WVA, adjusting the turnaround spot to suit the group. The total distance to Shepherdstown will be approximately 18 miles round trip. We will stop along the way to enjoy nature and the Antietam Creek Aqueduct. We’ll take time to explore its fascinating history, admire the stonework, and soak in views of the Potomac River.👋🏼 MEETING POINT:
Meet at 11:20 AM in the Dargan Bend Boat Ramp parking.
We start at 11:30 AM.🚙 PARKING: [Dargan Bend Boat Ramp, Sharpsburg, MD 21782](Dargan Bend Boat Ramp, Sharpsburg, MD 21782)
