Nolands Ferry Boat Ramp
American Whitewater identifies Nolands Ferry as the intermediate river access about 3.8 miles below Point of Rocks; NPS and C&O Canal Trust document the public trailer ramp at canal mile 44.6. The angled downstream ramp and left-channel approach require deliberate scouting.

Monocacy Aqueduct Boat Ramp / Mouth of Monocacy
NPS identifies the public Monocacy Aqueduct ramp at canal mile 42.2 as Potomac access. Take out at the named ramp before extending into the Monocacy River or downstream tidal/urban water.
