Paul Bunyan Campground
Paul Bunyan Campground
Anglers Inn Access is a popular put-in point for paddlers accessing the Potomac River near Great Falls, featuring a concrete ramp (13 feet wide) and soft launch area managed by the National Park Service.
The site requires a portage from the parking lot across a bridge to reach the water, with a large gravel parking lot (4 trailer spaces available) and access through an NPS locked gate at the lower lot.
This location provides access to both whitewater rapids upstream in Mather Gorge and calmer paddling downstream, making it a key starting point for canoeists and kayakers of varying skill levels.
