Park Service aims to flood C&O Canal sections for revival
National Park Service plans to flood parts of the 184.5 mile Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from Hancock to Cumberland in four river towns. Tests in Brunswick and Williamsport showed the canal bed can hold water. Cumberland testing is upcoming. The $100,000 federal effort seeks to reopen a watered canal for tourism, with potential canal boat trips.
