Towpath denizen |
I saw the sign of the National Park Service for the C&O Canal, so I decided it was meant to be that I do my walk here today.

Tuscarora Pumping Station |
As I approached the parking lot, three Frederick County school buses full of kids were leaving the area. When I parked, there was one man criss-crossing the picnic area, looking for things that might have been left behind. He also was working down by the boat ramp, so I took a minute to talk to him, remarking that I must have timed it perfectly so that the kids were gone. He laughed and told me that the kids were one half of the sixth grade at one school, who had been at the park to do some water quality monitoring.

I asked him about the towpath, and which section might provide the better views, but he said it was about the same in either direction. He told me that in one direction, there was a pumping station for the water treatment plant at Tuscarora, and in the other direction, it was basically a tree covered path.
