Potomac River Whites Ferry Access

White's Ferry offers a concrete boat ramp (43 feet wide) with a large unpaved parking lot accommodating approximately 20 car spaces and 50 trailer spaces, located at mile marker 35. 5 of the C&O Canal towpath.

A $5 launch fee is required, and the site provides access to the Potomac River for non-motorized watercraft and fishing.

The area is managed by the National Park Service and includes nearby amenities such as picnic facilities and restrooms, though the historic White's Ferry cable ferry itself has been closed since December 2020.
