Where Three National Trails Meet

Three national trails converge here near Harpers Ferry. The Appalachian Trail crosses the Potomac River bridge, leaving West Virginia for Maryland as it continues from Georgia to Maine. On the far side of the bridge, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath follows the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, Maryland, carrying hikers and bikers along its level path. The Potomac Heritage Trail, a developing network of hiking and water trails, extends from western Pennsylvania to the Chesapeake Bay, and its Harpers Ferry section follows the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath.
