The Trail Starts Here

Mountain Maryland is full of cycling trails and road routes that take you into rural areas showcasing the beauty of our region. Enjoy incredible mountain biking terrain and developed trails at Rocky Gap State Park, Dans Mountain State Park, and Green Ridge State Forest. Or, explore on our road routes through the RidewithGPS app to experience the ideal low-traffic riding conditions on trails such as the Mount Savage Lollipop or the Lake Loop. And we can’t forget the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal Towpath, two internationally recognized trails that connect to form 333.5 miles of continuous car-free trail from Pittsburgh, PA, to Washington, DC, which meet right here in the heart of downtown Cumberland, MD, and have been recognized as model trails across the world.
