George Washington Canal

About this event

We will return to the George Washington Canal on Sunday 11/8/26. The Little Falls gauge has a forecasted level of 2.9 on Sunday. Weather forecast is sunny with a high of 62F but upper 50s when we'll start paddling. It will be breezy. Water temperature should be around 60F.

We will meet at the takeout at the Pennyfield Lock parking lot at 10:30A to drop off some cars, with a shuttle to the put-in at Riley’s Lock. Please contact Rich Conde at rich.conde@comcast.net or 301-335-0306 if you wish to join the trip.

A dry suit or wetsuit is recommended. PFDs are required for all. Helmets are required for kayakers using spray skirts and highly recommended for others. Airbags are strongly encouraged for boats without other means of flotation to prevent hard pins and simplify boat recovery in the event of a swim.
