McMahon's Mill is not operational but is still a site that you can visit and is a great place to access the C&O Canal.
McMahon’s Mill, which has also been known through the years as Charles Mill, Cedar Grove Mill, Shaffer's Old Flouring Mills and Avis Mill, used a steel wheel in the early twentieth century to generate electricity. In 1922 the mill was closed after a flood and years later, the National Park Service restored the wooden structure.
McMahon’s Mill also features a private campground for recreational vehicles and tents. - Canal Trust
