Dam 5 offers some interesting scenery along the Potomac River.
Checking out the spillway of Dam #5 just across the bridge from the start of this section.
Nice vista looking across the potomac
One half of an old bridge to cross the lock. The arch was above a flume where the excess water bypassed the lock.
Very easy trail the majority of the way. I saw a few road bikes that werent struggling at all.
Ruins of an old flour mill down a 20 yard spur
