"Billy Goat Trail, part B"

This is a great 2 mile circuit hike for elementary school age children. The hike is along the Potomac River and teh C&O Canal. The trail is rocky along the River and provides some challenging rock scrambling for kids. When the water level is low on the River, there is a great beach for hangind out and watching the kayakers.
