I was planning a few day trip along the C&O trail in the next couple weeks and I was trying to plan out water sources. From my understanding they do not place the handles on the numerous wells until April. For those who have travelled this trail before, can you chime in if there are naturally occurring water sources along the way? Filtering water is not a problem, nonexistent water sources could pose a problem. I plan on starting out near Cumberland and heading east. Thanks in advance for any information.

The C&O parallels the Potomac pretty much all the way. You might have to wait until you reach the hiker/biker sites to get easy access to the shoreline. I know you cross Catoctin Creek east of Brunswick, MD. Not sure of other active streams but I’m sure there are some.

Most of the convenience stores in the towns along the trail are open if you choose to go that route.

Good luck.
