November 2022 C&O Canal Campout

We will be camping the weekend of November 11-13 along the C&O Canal, just outside of Washington, DC. 

We will camp on Friday night at the Swain's Lock hiker-biker campsite. On Saturday morning, weather permitting, we will bike and/or hike from our hiker-biker site to the Marsden Tract campsite. 

Please arrive no earlier than 4pm Friday. The location for drop-off is a small parking lot at the end of Swain's Lock Road. Try using the address "10700 Swains Lock Rd, Potomac, MD 20854" in your GPS to find it, but depending on which program you are using, that location may not be exact. See map below. 

Departure on Sunday morning is at 10am. The location for pick-up is the pull-off on Macarthur Blvd, located at approximately 10427 Macarthur Boulevard, on the side of the road closer to the water. See map below. 

Note that the current weather prediction is for heavy rain on Friday night, which may cause us to start this campout on Saturday morning at Marsden Tract -- we will be keeping an eye on the weather.
