NEWS FROM THE PARK

Well water for C&O Canal hiker-bike campsite has been turned on for the season! These water wells are one of the many amenities that help create an accessible and comfortable experience for visitors traveling to the park for an extend period of time. As a reminder, well water in hiker-biker campsites is non-potable so be sure to treat water before use.

Curious,,, what exactly would the issues be with the water.. is it basically river water.. just in a aquifer...in your honest opinion if I wanted to splash my face of even wash my body or hair with it ....soap included.. after getting your face covered with bugs , pollen , dust,,, it would feel nice to do any of the above.. of course I'd bring a collapsed bucket and do this far away from sourse...and river..,as long as its not entering my mouth,eyes ,,maybe ears, nose..should be ok???? See my dilemma..just curious...thanks
