Snyders Landing Boat Ramp is located at Mile 76.8 on the C&O Canal towpath. See the Boat Ramps web page for an interactive location map.
NOTE: Sections of the towpath, locks and other historical structures, trails, campgrounds, picnic areas, boat ramps, and visitor centers are constantly being closed due to damage and/or repair. When planning an adventure within Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, make sure that areas you plan to visit are open by checking the National Park Service’s official Current Park Conditions web page.
The Snyders Landing Boat Ramp is suitable for launching motorized boats and hand-paddled watercraft directly into the Potomac River. Aside from the boat ramp, there is a chemical toilet and a small parking area for vehicles with trailers.
Like all boat ramps within Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, there is no fee to use the ramp.
