Indian Flats Hiker Biker Campsite

Nice long* forested trails, doesn’t really have any “pull over” spots where you can sit by the water so this place isn’t for that unless you chill at the bridge or get a camping spot which does have access to the water / sun. As for the camping spot, it’d just be for tents and NOT any vans/buses— a 15-20 minute? walk to. Not sure if you can park overnight at the parking lot or not. Nice historical bridge that lots of folks fish from with a nice view of the water but definitely a trip hazard so be careful! no houses in view on the trail, clean restroom at the parking area which is located in a foresty spot.

Favorite place to camp on the C&O canal. Plenty of room. There are trains that go by most of the night and low flying airplanes on approach to Reagan Nat. If that bothers you. I’d suggest ear plugs for the light sleepers.

We spent two nights here because it was such a nice spot. The bend in the river makes a great spot to watch the sunset. Water from the pump is amber but that boils out and it tastes fine

Amazing spot. Nice, level camp sites, great view, quiet and peaceful (and dark!) overnight. Super easy (~10 min) flat hike from the aquaduct lot, and there's a potable water pump right there (though in winter it's shut off). Highly recommend for a quick weekend trip and winter camping.

Great campsite however, note that the well pump does not work.
