Cycling

The official Mile 0 of the Great Allegheny Passage is found in downtown Cumberland under the arch, next to the train station and connected to the northern terminus of the C&O Canal and Towpath. The town is well-connected, with Amtrak service that accepts bikes and ample parking.

Cycling

One of my favorites! Mostly flat and easy with some slightly uphill sections. Family friendly with wi-fi connectivity, food resupply and lodging/camping available (not too many options as the C&O is offering.... just plan ahead)
