Did You Know?
The Great Falls of the Potomac River is the second largest in the state of Maryland. It is a series of cascading falls. Water drops 76 feet in two-thirds of a mile. Natural hazards in the Potomac such as water falls and rapids created the need for canals for reliable water transportation.
