We are doing the GAP/C&O from Pittsburgh to D.C.

Can we access the WMRT close to lock 56 on the C&O?

Where can we first access the WMRT going west to east?

Thanks!!

Yes, you can access the WMRT from C & O towpath. It is at mile marker 136.3. When you see lock 56, go back about 100 feet or so, take the gravel road on the left, go about 150 feet directly to the WMRT. Be on the look out, if not, you will miss it, no signs or anything. A very appreciated paved trail!

If you miss it at lock 56, don't despair. You can leave the C&O ion many places and local roads will intersect the WM trail.
