LITTLE ORLEANS, MD

Little Orleans is an unincorporated community in Allegany County, Maryland. Little Orleans is located on the Potomac River at the mouth of Fifteenmile Creek across from Orleans Cross Roads, West Virginia. Little Orleans was served by the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, and by the Western Maryland Railway. Both of which have been abandoned.

Bill's Place is a bar, general store and diner, located in LIttle Orleans, Maryland. Locals and visitors alike come to Bill's Place for its one of a kind atmosphere. This log cabin style building is a favorite stop for a cold drink and an excellent meal.

Although Bill's Place is located deep in the heart of the Greenridge State Forest, it's a popular spot that visitors and locals return to again and again. Located above the Fifteen-Mike Creek access to the Potomac River and the C&O Canal bike path, Bill's Place is a can't-miss stop for hikers, bikers, campers and fishers. Visitors can also take advantage of Bill's canoe livery and shuttle.

During hunting season, Bill's Place draws hunters from all over the area. Bill's Place is also a great stop for bikers, especially during the East Coast Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

As a Bill's Place tradition, make sure to bring and extra dollar bill to sign and stick on the dollar covered ceiling.  Unfoirtunately, a fire a few years back destroyed the original ceiling in the place.  Sadly, the bills that Dave, Sara, a lot of old friends and I put up there way back when are now long gone.
