Lockhouse 28, completed in 1837, serves as a historic retreat along the C&O Canal in Point of Rocks, MD. This rustic lockhouse stands as a testament to the fierce competition between the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the race to reach the Ohio River Valley.

Located nearly half a mile from the nearest parking area, Lockhouse 28 offers a unique experience, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the 1830s era with amenities such as outdoor fire rings, a water pump, and a hiker-biker campsite nearby.
