Great Falls Tavern (known at various times as Great Falls Hotel and Crommelin House) is a historic building in Montgomery County, Maryland, in the United States. [1] Located at mile 14.3 along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath, it is today used by the National Park Service as one of its five visitor centers in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.
Great Falls is a series of rapids and waterfalls on the Potomac River, 14 miles (23 km) upstream from Washington, D.C., on the border of Montgomery County, Maryland and Fairfax County, Virginia. The Potomac and the falls themselves are legally entirely within Maryland , since the state's border follows the south bank of the river.
Access through the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center requires payment, but access anywhere else in the park is free. [36] In January 2015, the National Park Service proposed adding entrance fees to virtually all access points along the towpath; the proposal was rescinded in February, amid backlash from communities along the canal.
