Billy Goat Trail Section A

This trail can be entered from the east or west end. From the east, you would park at the Old Anglers Inn, cross the Canal, and travel west along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath approximately 0.5 miles to the entrance. From the west, park at the Great Falls Visitors Center and head east on the towpath until you reach the trailhead. The trail itself is a challenging 1.7 miles along the Potomac River through rolling terrain with intermittent rock scramble areas.
