Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park travel safety advice
Don't push your luck, waders
There is really just one danger and one danger alone in the park?the river. The Potomac is a huge and fast river, with plenty of rapids. Drownings occur every year, usually as people foolishly try to go wading in what looks like calm water, and are promptly sucked under by the strong current. (Do not be deceived: there is a rapid undercurrent that is often not visible from the surface.) Kayakers, rafters, and canoers would do well to consider this fact as well.
