Georgetown Canal Plan

Developed with the National Park Service, Georgetown Heritage, and the DC Office of Planning the plan cultivates a section of the canal in Georgetown into a premier active, flexible, and sustainable urban park.

The partnership seeks input and ideas improving the unique stone structures, locks, towpath, plazas, and street crossings to maximize educational, recreational and aesthetic potential.
