Great news! I got this news from the Park Service.
The area of the C&O Canal Trail known as Big Slackwater is officially open. So we no longer have to use that detour on public roads.
Enjoy your ride!

A friend just rode up to the Big Slackwater approach ON 9/22, and said the approach was still being finished. Be careful getting on. As I said in my post I rode the restoration on 9/12 and some machinery was still in place at the approach.

Thanks for the first-hand report. The Park Service has indicated Big Slackwater is open for business. The Canal Trust has also confirmed this information.

GREAT AND MARVELOUS!

We rode it Tuesday, 9/25. It is as much of an engineering marvel as the Canal itself must have been in its day
