If you're a hiker, biker, trail runner, or outdoor lover of any kind, you don't want to miss this! Join us on June 2nd from 9am - 12pm at Fletcher's Cove for our annual celebration of National Trails Day - the American Hiking Society's annual tribute to the trails where we love to hike, bike, and run!
As the 9th most used National Park in the country, the C&O Canal is truly a local (and national) treasure. Grab a friend and get your hands dirty for clean water and clear trails!
Join Potomac Conservancy as we do our part to clean up the river and keep the Potomac's trails clear as part of this national day of service.
Together we'll ensure this local treasure remains a great place to bike, hike, paddle, and fish.
What you need:
- Close-toed shoes
- A smile!
What we provide:
Everything else!
All tools, drinking water, and supplies will be provided by Potomac Conservancy. And just because you took a stand for clean water, stick around for a special treat afterwards!
How to get there:
We know that Fletcher's Cove can be a bit tricky to get to, so please take a moment to visit our directions page for the best routes and parking information (you'll need to scroll halfway down the page).

Mission Statement
Potomac Conservancy safeguards the lands and waters of the Potomac River and its tributaries, and connects people to this national treasure
Description
Potomac Conservancy is a member-supported nonprofit that works to ensure the Potomac River boasts clean water, healthy lands, and vibrant communities. The Conservancy fights for improved water quality through conservation and advocacy, and empowers local landowners, volunteers, activists, members, and partners to lead the charge for clean streams and safe drinking water access.
Potomac Conservancy works one-on-one with private landowners to protect forested and open space lands; builds a vibrant and diverse river constituency to advocate for passage of river-friendly policies; and mobilizes thousands of volunteers in hands-on pollution cleanup efforts to raise awareness, inspire action and make a difference in our community.
