Saw five herds of deer moving across and adjacent the trail. Saw lots of flying waterfowl- mallard, woodies, and a common Merganzer. Also saw fat squirrels, egrets, blue jays, Cardinals, and some other passerines.

Whites Ferry
White’s Ferry is a one-of-a-kind on the Potomac River. Until it closed in 2020, it was the last operating ferry on the river, transporting vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians from Maryland across to the Leesburg area of Virginia. The ferry dates back to the early 1800s and gets its name from former Confederate Lieutenant Colonel Elijah White, who owned a nearby farm and purchased the ferry after the Civil War.
