Located at Williamsport (mile marker 99. 8 of the C&O Canal Towpath), this access point features a single concrete boat ramp (30 feet wide) suitable for small vessels and provides a large paved parking lot with 8 car spaces and 6 trailer spaces.
Note that access requires driving over a narrow 9. 5-foot-wide bridge, and boaters must exit the river at this location as Dam #5 directly downstream is a river hazard; a second parking lot is available if the main lot is full.
