Why does this not mention canal access points in Frederick County, MD, such as Brunswick, MD, Point of Rocks, MD, and others? Isn’t this supposed to encourage people to visit Frederick? It only mentions boat rides in Georgetown, not the exciting biking, hiking, camping, and boating opportunities right in FREDERICK COUNTY.
