What is potomac water gap?

Potomac Water Gap is a scenic location in the state of Maryland, USA, where the Potomac River passes through a narrow gorge between two mountain ranges, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. The area is popular for outdoor activities like hiking, rock climbing, fishing, kayaking and whitewater rafting. The Great Allegheny Passage bike trail, which spans over 330 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington D.C., also passes through the gap. The C&O Canal towpath, a National Historic Park, runs alongside the Potomac River and offers scenic views of the gap and its surrounding mountains. The Potomac River is also an important source of drinking water for millions of people in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, making the preservation and protection of the Potomac Water Gap a crucial task.
