Whites Ferry

This is an easy drive with many tranquil farm views near the Potomac River. The drive from West to East starts at Whites Ferry, which is a car ferry that is currently closed. When it re-opens, you will be able to start or end your adventure by crossing the Potomac in your car on a ferry. The Western point is also a park for the C&O Canal Trail. On the opposite end of the trail is another C&O Canal trail park. As you leave to the East, the roads are similar in view but now paved. Also, if you finish this trail to the East, you can set your GPS for Hunting Quarter Road at the corner of River Road and Hughes Road. Hunting Quarter Road is 2 more miles of gravel and has a water crossing with a firm bottom, which can range from 36 inches to dust depending on the time of year and weather.
