There are no signs to guide you to the C&O canal mile zero marker. So take a short virtual bike ride from the end of the towpath to the elusive and somewhat hidden granite marker! Begin or complete your 184.5 mile journey at the absolute start of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
I wish I would have seen this video before this. Some friends and I did the ride from Cumberland to Georgetown in '09, but we had no clue as to the whereabouts of the "0" mile marker. Thank you very much!

Thanks, very useful! I was rooting around for it and could not find it; this video will help!

Wish I had seen this before yesterday when I was down in the vicinity but didn't know how to find the zero marker. FYI - The Swedish embassy is just to the right of the boathouse. I went into the building to have a look at the current exhibit - when someone came up to me and asked if my bike was outside chained to a pol. I said yes - and they said I had to move it. I protested as there had been no sign saying one was not allowed to chain a bike there.....
