Description:  Riley’s Lock is the home of the Seneca Aqueduct, Seneca Creek and the ruins of the Seneca Stonecutting Mill. We will head upriver to the stonecutting mill then back track to the tow path and walk upriver to view the remains of the several sandstone quarries that supplied stone for canal locks, the Smithsonian Castle and Cabin John Bridge. The quarries and the wonderful stone walls lining the canal are only really visible in winter. Quite a diversity of trees.
