Washington Aqueduct on C&O Canal

Join WABA and the National Park Service along the famed C&O Canal Towpath on Saturday, June 7th in honor of National Trails Day! We’ll be at the Washington Aqueduct overlook (near the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center) from 10AM to 2PM with our bike rigs to talk about all things bikepacking. Swing by and nerd out with us about routes and gear.

NPS is also planning guided hikes and bike rides, taking place earlier from 8AM to 10AM. Check back here for more details and how to register.

More about Trails

Trails are the best. They are low-stress bike infrastructure, access to nature, parks, landmarks, and community gathering spaces all rolled into one.

WABA's trail advocacy is focused on connecting gaps in our region's trail network; ensuring existing trails are maintained and upgraded to meet current design standards; and expanding the network into underserved parts of the region.

More about Advocacy

WABA fights for a region where biking, walking and transit are the best ways to get around.

We educate policymakers and organize grassroots advocates for to speak up for safer places to bike and walk; and for laws and policies that protect people who are walking and biking, reduce dangerous driving, and facilitate changes to the built environment.
