Billy Goat B, C and Plummers Island

On this 6+ mile hike, we'll celebrate the reopening of the Billy Goat Trail's B Section, enjoy the C Section (without surgery), and explore the Washington Field Biologists' research ground on Plummers Island. To complete a thorough exploration of the ground between the Old Angler area and American Legion Bridge, we'll loop back to the start via the canal towpath.
Most of our route will be fairly level, with good tread, but expect a few steep, rocky and potentially slick areas, especially along the recently completed reroute of Section B (finally, after more than six years closed).
Be prepared for changing weather. Footwear should have good grip. Bring a snack and enough liquid to stay hydrated. All participants including the leader are required to sign Sierra Club's participation agreement/hike roster. A voluntary donation to defray the club's training and communication costs ($2 or so) will be encouraged.
WE WILL MEET BY THE BRIDGE TO THE TOWPATH BELOW THE OLD ANGLER PARKING AREA OFF RIVER ROAD IN POTOMAC, MD.
