Just a word of warning about the detour on the C&O Canal Towpath at Dam 5. This detour includes a two-level wooden stairway to/from the detour path. For those with heavily laden bikes or ebikes, you would do well to elicit the support of another person to aid in getting your bike up and down these stairs. Not getting some assistance could lead to both you and your bike falling.
