After an extended period, the C&O Canal will finally be re-flooded this year and the canal boat will return. This is according to an update from Georgetown Heritage, which was responsible for bringing a new boat back to the canal in 2022.
After a year of plying the waters, the boat was put up in dry dock again to allow the canal to receive critical repairs. The work is set to be completed this year and the canal will be filled with water again. (In case you’re wondering, the canal is not flooded with, like, a hose, or something. Up at Lock 5, in Brookmont, MD, there’s an inlet from the river that can be open or closed to fill the canal.) Once the canal is full, the boat will be floated again and the rides returned.
Georgetown Heritage is fund raising to support the boat and the tours, so if you want to help them out, give them some dough!
