About Dickerson Conservation Park

Dickerson Conservation Park covers about 304 acres along the Potomac River and the C&O Canal, sitting just south of where Montgomery and Frederick Counties meet. The 1996 flood damaged the canal and towpath in this section. The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission acquired the land in the early 1960s. Visitors can check the park's posted hours and contact Montgomery Parks customer service for further details.
