Edwards Ferry

Poolesville

Locals call it "Haunted House Bend"
Muddy shore, bring cleanup gear for watercraft
Landing often floods after heavy rain

Ghost stories and Civil War history cling to this shady bend of the C&O Canal, where a former ferry crossing now launches kayaks and paddleboards onto the wide, gentle Potomac. Come for the towpath trails, stay to scan for mysterious figures.
