About the C&O Canal Lock 70
Located in Oldtown, Maryland, United States, C&O Canal Lock 70 is a historic tourist attraction that preserves America's early transportation history. Operating for nearly 100 years, the canal served as a vital lifeline for communities along the Potomac River, transporting goods such as coal, lumber, and agricultural products to market. Today, visitors can explore the canal and discover its historical, natural, and recreational treasures.

Come explore the rich history and natural beauty of the C&O Canal Lock 70!
Reviews of C&O Canal Lock 70
"Pretty spot along the old C&O canal with informative signs. But the real treat is the toll bridge to West Virginia just over the rise. It's $1.50 to cross a one-lane wood bridge to West Virginia. When you see the bridge you'll know why it feels like a adventure."
"Such a historic spot and near a great diner type eatery - schoolhouse kitchen. They are situated in the old school and use the kitchen! Awesome eatery. This place has plenty of parking, huge fishing spot, and a nice place to ride a bicycle in either direction."
"A lot of bikers so a backpacker may feel alone—considering myself—but the trail is outstanding and all welcoming!"
"The run towards Cumberland is amazing. You will come across spectacular views. Great for walking, running or biking."
"Great place to get outside and enjoy mother nature."
