Volunteers play a large role in visitor satisfaction.

Volunteers are needed to help the National Park Service staff visitor centers along the canal. Duties include providing area information, answering phones and correspondence, and operating a small bookstore. Training is provided. Visitor centers are located in Georgetown, Great Falls, Ferry Hill, Brunswick, Hagerstown, Williamsport, Hancock, and Cumberland.

The park offers RV sites for out-of-state volunteers serving at either the Williamsport or Hancock Visitor Centers.

 

To apply as a visitor center assistant, please go to current volunteer opportunities and complete the volunteer form. Thank you for your interest in volunteering.

Did You Know?
The Paw Paw Tunnel is 3,118 feet long and is lined with almost six million bricks. The 2/3 mile long tunnel saved the canal builders almost six miles of construction along the Paw Paw bends of the Potomac River. The project took twelve years to complete. The tunnel was only wide enough for single lane traffic.
