Wiliamsport Visitor Center

The Williamsport Visitor Center is located in the old Cushwa Warehouse. Parking, a small museum, and restroom facilities are available. A half-mile rewatered section of canal leads through the turning basin, under the only Railroad Lift Bridge as well as the only Bollman Iron Truss bridge on the canal, and continues to Lock House 44 and the adjacent lock. Williamsport also offers access to the C&O Canal Towpath and a boat launch and dock. The visitor center offers free boat rides, walking tours, and bike loans. The Cushwa Basin is also a great point of entry for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and fishing.
