This next section of the C&O starts off with another really nice stretch. Between Pennyfield Lock and Rileys Lock, the scenery is varied. Much of the canal is watered, and the Potomac is pleasantly rocky and unnavigable. Occasional rock cuts add vertical visual relief.
Past Rileys Lock, the path becomes more monotonous. It's pretty, but less variable. On one side is the Potomac, looking more placid, and on the other is the dry canal and trees. At quiet Sycamore Landing (nothing but a boat launch, not even a port-a-potty), I turned around.
I did this one on a weekday, so it was uncrowded.
