The closest "main highway" at Paw Paw is Rt 9/51. This highway travels over the bridge over the Potomac River well above the Towpath. The highway itself does not directly intersect the Towpath. However, you can ride a bike down from the bridge to the Towpath. If you actually want to reach the Towpath by directly by car, you can do so in Oldtown where Rt. 51 does directly cross/intersect with the towpath. There is a parking area adjacent to the Towpath there.
