Description

The first take-out is at the observation deck, which involves a steep carry up rocks to the deck and then a fairly long carry back to the C&O Canal. But assuming the canal is watered, you can then paddle up the canal back to Lock 5, or with a fairly short additional carry, put back into the feeder canal to paddle back up to Lock 6.
