Great Allegheny Passage

Frostburg is a Certified Trail Town at Mile Marker 15

Ride the 150 mile Great Allegheny Passage, known as GAP, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Cumberland, Maryland! Find spectacular views while biking through the natural environment, and experience culture, rivers, waterfalls, tunnels, bridges, mountains, wildlife, campgrounds, hiking trails, parks, and art as you take your voyage through Appalachia.

The GAP attracts tourists from all fifty states and over forty countries, and it receives about a million visits annually. Completed in 2013, much of the GAP trail was built on abandoned rail beds from the both Western Maryland Railway and Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad and old footpaths. With crushed and packed limestone and asphalt lining these trails, this   non-motorized track offers a smooth ride.

As one of the dozen trail towns the GAP passes through, explore Frostburg and spend the night in a local inn before continuing your journey. Dine at the town’s favorite restaurants, shop at small businesses, visit museums and the Frostburg Train Depot, and explore art scattered throughout the small, mountain town.

You can access the Frostburg Trail Head by car from New Hope Road NW, Frostburg, or if you are riding your bike, take the switchback next to the train tracks on Depot Street.
