Lock 34 is located just north of Harpers Ferry at Mile 61.5 on the C&O Canal towpath. It cannot be accessed by vehicle, so reaching it requires hiking or biking 3.5 miles (one way) upstream from the parking area on Keep Tryst Road near Lock 31 or 3.4 miles downstream from the Dargan Bend Boat Ramp parking lot. See the Locks and Lockhouses web page for an interactive location map.
Lock 34 on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is located in the midst of four other locks. Lock 33 and Lock 32 are within a mile and a half downstream and Lock 35 and Lock 36 are a mile upstream.
