This boat was used by the Patowmack Canal Company to move items up the river. The canal is built with gates that are moved by donkeys. The canals work like the Panama Canal, they put the boat in the gates and fill them up with water to allow them to move into the next area of the canal.
The falls were very beautiful.
The kids found that playing in and on the rocks was a little more interesting to them though.
Alex LOVED climbing on the rocks! Mom and Dad had to trap him to get him down from the rocks. We chased him to the very end of the trail where he once again found a rock to climb :)
