From sunrise to starlight, this outdoorinspired itinerary will help you discover
the beauty of Allegany County through
hikes, bike rides, and scenic landscapes.
Perfect for nature lovers and adventure
seekers alike.
MORNING
Start your morning with a hearty breakfast from a local
cafe in downtown Cumberland, or hit a few locations on
the Donut and Coffee Trail for a caffeine buzz and sugar
rush to fuel your day.
Enjoy a morning hike at Rocky Gap State Park. Take the
5.5-mile Lakeside Loop Trail to get the blood pumping for
the day or do a morning wake-up stroll on the one-mile,
out-and-back Canyon Overlook Trail.
AFTERNOON
Grab lunch at Signatures Bar and Grill at Rocky Gap
Casino Resort.
Work with an outfitter or outfit your own adventure
with a bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage.
Take a leisurely ride from Frostburg down to Cumberland,
where you will find scenic landscapes and interesting
points like Bone Cave, Helmstetter’s Curve and the Brush
Tunnel along the way.
EVENING
Grab a pizza and a fresh farm brew at Locust Post Brewery
before setting out to Green Ridge State Forest for some
evening stargazing. Green Ridge State Forest’s 49,000
acres isolate the park from urban light pollution, making it
one of the darkest areas in the region, and a great place
to trace the constellations.
