Description
Georgetown is the terminus for the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which runs 185 miles through 75 lift locks to Cumberland, Maryland. In 1971 the entire canal was designated a National Historic Park. At lift lock no. 3, a bust of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas commemorates his work in spearheading the movement to preserve the canal.
