“This a great biker campsite close to the river. I can't comment on the bugginess since I have not been here during the summer, but it seems really nice. There is a portapotty, fire ring, picnic table, and a fair amount of flat ground for a tent. The water pump is missing it's lever and does not work.”

“Sturdy pedestrian footbridge. Cross this footbridge in order to access the Maryland Heights Overlook or the C&O Canal Towpath. Stairs leading to Harpers Ferry Road can be slippery when wet. No lighting available if crossing the footbridge at night.”

“As far as parking lots go this one is nice. Clean well lit and a large number of spaces. Could use better direction to the cliff trail I often see people who are confused about which way to go from the lot. Photo is view from the cliffs at the top of the trail”

A fabulous child-centered organization, Manidokan leadership and staff bend over backwards to be sure our campers have a wonderful experience. The facilities are lovely, their fields well-kept, and activities well-planned and carried out.”

“The old Naval Battery was reinforced as well in June, 1863. The sandbag parapet was replaced by earthworks, the emplacement was enlarged and embrasured, and four magazines were added. Loudoun Heights received its share of attention, but that share paled in comparison to the work on Maryland Heights. Units of the Twelfth Corps occupied Loudoun on September 22, 1862. They cut trees and built stone works and a signal station on its crest. -- Earl Hess”

“Amazing to think of the history in this place. Also amazing to think that at one time, at the very spot where you're standing, was once several feet of water in one of the most important transportation ways of the 19th century. Now that's some history!”

“Spooky old house. The available evidence by way of Park research suggests that this building may have been the Superintendent's house -- the Superintendent of the Canal for this region. This house was furthermore not the so-called "Salty Dog Saloon," which was adjacent to the left-hand side. There is some evidence of an actual lockhouse nearer to the lock. The National Park Service -- either one or both of the five national historical parks here (HAFE or CHOH) -- has the say with what can get done with this house. My vote is for restoration with a new allocation of funds! Can you guess the remaining three national parks in Harpers Ferry?”

“Probably one of the best trails to walk/hike in the area. Either direction you take it, it will either lead to Shepherdstown or Brunswick.”

“I wanted to second Dan's post in that the food was great for all 3 of my stays. I attended a 3 part workshop at Blue Mountain and each time I looked forward to coming back for the amazing location and for the food which is provided by the Beth. She was the best possible host and I found the accommodations to be clean, relaxing, and all around a great experience.”

“The Federals built gun emplacements on Maryland Heights. The 30-Pounder Battery, also known as the Six-Gun Battery, was dug in October, 1862. Its fire covered the tops of Loudoun Heights and Bolivar Heights. The work had four sides but was open to the rear. And a 100-Pounder Battery was located on the crest of Maryland Heights between the Stone Fort and the 30-Pounder Battery. --Earl Hess”

“The Federals built gun emplacements on Maryland Heights. The 100-Pounder Battery, built in June, 1863, had a 9-inch Dahlgren whose fire could cover nearly everything – Loudoun Heights, the valleys east and west of Maryland Heights, and Bolivar Heights. It was located on the crest of Maryland Heights between the Stone Fort and the 30-Pounder Battery. The Dahlgren piece was replaced with a 100-pounder Parrott in August, 1863, and the gun platform was raised to provide a wide traverse of fire. -- Earl Hess”

“Beautiful, but slightly boring walk along Potomac River. Flat surface is a welcome change from AT Rollercoaster in South and South Mountain up North - nice break for your feet. Not much shade, so hiking there in summer requires plenty of water. Depending on your direction, Canal Path starts/ends in Harpers Ferry - a cool destination by itself.”

“My home church & a great place for worship each week. All are welcome, come learn about, praise and worship Jesus!”

“The Stone Fort complex was the right anchor of a line extending westward from Maryland Heights to the Potomac River. Federal troops began building the foundation of a stone blockhouse on the crest of Maryland Heights on October 15. It was 40 feet by 100 feet in size with a bastion on each end. The work straddled the crest at an elevation of 1,448 feet. Before completion, engineers had second thoughts about the feasibility of a stone fort. This material was initially chosen because of the rocky nature of the soil, but it would not stand more than a few rounds from even a small field piece. In September, 1863, the structure was converted into a supply warehouse. -- Earl Hess”
