C&O Canal & Green Ridge State Forest - Hiking, Biking, Hunting
Across river is the C & O Canal Tow Path and the 47,560 acre Green Ridge State Forest. Four miles north, on the tow path, is the Paw Paw Tunnel, a ¾ mile stretch of the canal that passes through a mountain (bring your flashlight!). You can drive to the Paw Paw Tunnel as well. It is 12 miles away and takes about 35 minutes. You can walk through the tunnel and there is also a nature trail up over the tunnel.
You can access the C&O Canal Tow Path from Three Otters by taking a canoe/kayak/tube across the river and then go up on a narrow path to the Tow Path. The Tow Path is great for easy walking and bike riding. Green Ridge Forest offers miles of dirt roads for hiking or biking.
Eidolon Nature Preserve - http://www.potomacaudubon.org/eidolon
Within a 25 minutes drive of Three Otters, the the 354 acre Eidolon Nature Preserve is located along the summit of Sideling Hill, west of Berkeley Springs, WV. The property was owned for many years by Louis and Marguerite Zapoleon. Mrs. Zapoleon willed it to the Nature Conservancy when she passed away in 2003 with instructions that it be used as a place to promote greater understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Marguerite wrote a book about their times at Eidolon - Everyone Needs a Mountain, which was published in 1985.
