Únase con nosotros para un paseo guiado en bote por el Canal C & O en la cuenca Cushwa en Williamsport, MD para la semana de Latinos que conservan los parques.

Los tours están limitados 10 personas solamente. No se permiten animales, con la excepción de los animales de servicio. Las inclemencias del tiempo pueden hacer que se cancelen los tours.

Durante finales del siglo 19 y principios del siglo 20, los barcos de batería y vapor de 30 pies viajaron por el canal para placer de uno y negocios, contrastando enormemente con los barcos de carga de 90 pies jalado por mulos que antiguamente dominaban el canal.

Boletos son gratis y dado por orden de llegada el mismo día. Boletos se distribuirá al tope de la hora.
