Cycle Through the Mountains, Not Over Them!

Come journey by bicycle  for about 300 miles along the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath. Ride along the flattest route ever built from Pittsburgh PA to Washington DC on nearly-level trails that once served railroads and canals. Explore the remnant railroad and canal structures that line this now-sylvan corridor.

The trail is now complete from McKeesport PA (15 miles southeast of Pittsburgh) to the end of the C&O Canal in Washington DC. This web site is dedicated to helping you plan a memorable trip.
