Any lodging suggestions near whites ferry, MD off the C&O

Nothing near Whites Ferry. Leesburg, VA used to be an easy ferry/bike ride over but the ferry is closed due to a land dispute and now there is no easy way over. You could call the hotels and ask if they will shuttle/come get you at US Rt. 15 (likely a fee). If you’re brave and have the legs for it, you could cross on your bike at US Rt. 15 but that’s like 12-13 miles to get to Leesburg. I’ve never ridden it but I understand it’s not the safest bridge or route (others in this forum might chime in with their experiences).

Otherwise try Brunswick, MD.

Good luck,
John

I have ridden portions of US Route 15 both north and south of State Rt 665. The latter was in route to hotels in Leesburg or to the WOD Trail before the ferry shutdown operations. While rideable, those sections are not for the faint of heart given the amount and speed of traffic.

I did briefly research Airbnb to see if there were any options, say, in Poolsville but none jumped out at me.
