The C&O Canal Trust is looking for help securing state funding to resurface a 15-mile stretch of canal between Little Orleans Campground and the Paw Paw Tunnel. A petition is available online for bikers and hikers to sign, encouraging the C&O Canal National Historic Park’s request for $2.1 million dollars.  That money would be coming from the Maryland Transportation Alternatives Program that has already financed over 90 miles of towpath work.  The petition can be found at www.canaltrust.org.
