About the Patowmack Canal
The Patowmack Canal, located at 9200 Old Dominion Drive in McLean, Virginia, is a historic park that was a key part of George Washington's vision to connect the Potomac River to the Ohio River Valley. This canal was one of the first attempts at uniting the economies of the new United States. The canal allowed for trade and transportation between Maryland, Virginia, and the western frontier. The Mount Vernon Compact, ratified in 1785, was the first free-trade agreement between states and led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The canal's bypasses around rapids, such as Great Falls, were essential for navigation. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the locks and trails at Great Falls Park, which is now part of the National Park Service. The preservation of the Patowmack Canal is a testament to the history and significance of this early American waterway.
