One of the best things about the C&O Canal
Is the fact that it is a National Park,
A place protected and given over to the public
To inspire ideas and imaginations to spark.

There is nothing quite like a quite ride on the water
Leaving worries behind on the shore
And heading downstream with friends at your side
With the right attitude you will not be bored.

For decades this has been true on the mighty C&O
Drawing people to its passage and alone for a ride.
No longer as vital to moving goods along the way
It has become a tool of learning to help people decide.

What is important in our daily lives?
How have things changed over the years?
Can history repeat itself again?
Just what are your worst fears?

You are invited to think, ponder, and dream
See the creation of man and what he’s not touched
The dichotomy and contrasts make for a pleasant trip
From buildings to birds and trees and such.

Though the water way has changed
There is much that is still the same.
A quiet boat ride will help to frame your mind
To show you life and what we could never tame.
