Oldtown (C&O Canal)

Submitted by JohnC on Fri, 08/16/2019 - 05:33

This is a C&O Canal access site where you can park and walk along the Canal north towards Spring Gap or South towards Town Creek Aquaduct.  The site can be accessed from Cumberland by traveling South and East of Cumberland on Route 51 (Oldtown Road) and turning right on Opessa Street.  Opessa Street runs parallel to Route 51 for just under one mile.  Turn right at Green Spring Road, go about 1/10 mile and turn right into the parking lot just before you get to the canal.
