The Whitewater Canal Scenic Byway is more than a road, it's a journey into America's transportation history with more than mere pictures and stories, but also historical sites galore. The Whitewater River Valley is waiting for you to drive its roads, hike its trails, or paddle its waters while enjoying its beautiful scenery, charming towns, recreational offerings, and so much more. In fact, there is so much to see and do here that we are thinking about changing our name to the Whitewater Canal Scenic DOway.
