Nolands Ferry Access

Nolands Ferry Access offers a small parking lot and a narrow, steep concrete boat ramp (10 feet wide) for accessing the Potomac River, managed by the National Park Service.

The site includes a picnic area and restrooms, making it suitable for paddlers and anglers, though it tends to be less crowded than nearby access points. Located at mile 44.

6 of the C&O Canal towpath near Tuscarora, Maryland, it provides a historic crossing point with connections to both river and canal recreation.
