Angler's Inn parking lot

Highlight • Parking

The lower parking lot near the Potomac River is a popular spot for kayakers and provides the best access to Billy Goat Trail sections A and B. There are restrooms and a water refill fountain. It fills up quickly on weekends and holidays, often by 7 a.m., so arriving early is recommended to secure a spot.
