Cushwa Basin — Attraction in Williamsport

We love biking in this area, fishing off the banks of the Potomac and now that the kids are older, running. We have been several times and the weekends are definitely the most congested. On one trip we did take the small boat out on the tour which was nice to get the history of the area from a guide. The Jr Park Ranger program is alive and well here which also helps us stay focused (lots of younger kids)- during Cana days we have gone through some of the historic buildings. Note: biking with four young children means carrying five bikes over the bridge to get to the other side- if you have multiple kids just consider that first😉 port a potty’s near the parking area the last time we used this area; boat ramps also nearby. Great history and great outdoor area, lots of birds and reptiles...

Couple years ago the river was stocked with fish but now there is no fish and the water level is abnormally low. One other thing that I hate is how dirty it is, both the water and the grass. The water has a lot of algae, and people don’t clean after their dogs. Although it’s still a magical site for a hike. It’s truly breath taking. Would definitely...

Great trail for all types of legs and wheels. Reminds me of the biking trail that heads north out of Burlington, Vermont. Mostly shaded; go anytime of the day. Plenty of parking. Listen to the light chirping of birds, strumming of small insects, or bring the friends for a gab session. Plenty of wildlife to see; get out there...
