Canal Boat Rides at Great Falls

Join us for a memorable experience aboard the replica Charles F. Mercer excursion boat and enjoy a scenic trip along the canal. Boat riders will hear the history of the C&O Canal and learn about the people who lived and worked along the canal during its construction and operation. So, mark your calendars and join us for a boatload of fun this summer!
