C&O Canal Boat Ride

1057 Thomas Jefferson Street, Washington D.C., DC

Travel back to the 1870s on a one-hour cruise aboard a replica canal boat pulled by mules and watch as the boat rises eight feet in the lock. Park rangers in period costumes tell stories (and humorous tall tales) as you ride on this historic waterway. Be ready to sing along! The cruise is open April through October and costs $5.00 per person; children ages three and under ride free.
