72 miles of the Great Allegheny Passage are part of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. With dedicated campgrounds and amenities in nearby trail towns, the GAP trail makes for excellent day hikes and rides or multi-day trips, and plenty of parking by which to explore a new section of the trail corridor. The GAP winds through gorges, river valleys, and farmlands offering stunning views of Southern Pennsylvania and Western Maryland.

Please visit Great Allegheny Passage Conservancy for more information about the GAP, trail conditions, and GAP partners.
