The congested parking along MacArthur Boulevard indicates the popularity of the Anglers Inn access to the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. Why is it so popular? Why is this particular access creating so much congestion? Let me approach it from the paddler’s point of view. Flatwater paddlers, including sea kayakers, have access to the watered C&O Canal which widens to the lake-like widewater one half mile upstream of the improved canal put-in. Whitewater paddlers, after carrying 300 yards from the lower parking lot to the river, have two choices: First they can paddle upstream against the cu...
