The canal's towpath is an elevated trail 184.5 miles long. It was originally built 12 feet wide as a path for mules that pulled canal boats. Today it provides through-travel opportunities for hikers and bicyclists. Mile markers are posted. Our rental location has ample parking and the most convenient access to the canal in the area.
