The Point of Rocks (Baltimore & Ohio) Railroad Station (c.1876) is one of the most photographed train stations in the nation.
Point of Rocks is still a small country town and continues to serve as a convenient travel crossroads location, boasting a peaceful setting along the Potomac River in the shadow of Catoctin Mountain.
Nearby attractions include the Point of Rocks Train Station, a boat ramp, and historic canal structures such as a pivot bridge, lock houses and the Catoctin Aqueduct.
