Hike Along the Monocacy Aqueduct and C&O Canal
Sunday, November 21, 2021 • 17 Kislev 5782
2:00 PM - 4:00 PMCome join members of the B'nai Israel Men's Club as we hike along the C&O Canal towpath. Eric Luftman will offer commentary as we walk from the Monocacy Aqueduct, the longest and most intact of 11 aqueducts built along the 184 miles of the canal. Along our route we will visit a canal lock and lockhouse, enjoy sweeping views of the Potomac, pass the retired Dickerson Power Plant and turn back at the wetlands of the Dickerson Conservation Park.
We will gather at 1:45 pm at the Monocacy Aqueduct parking area, located at 21115 Mouth of Monocacy Rd. in Dickerson, MD.(As you approach the end of Mouth of Monocacy Rd., take the left fork to the parking area, as opposed to the right fork to the Monocacy boat ramp.) The parking area is 26 miles from B'nai Israel, a 35-40 minute drive. Family and friends are welcome.
There is no limitation on numbers, but please contact Eric Luftman to let us know that you are coming, so that we can notify you if there are any last minute weather-related changes.
