Cumberland, Maryland
Once a prominent coal town, Cumberland is now home to Canal Place, which envelops the terminus of the C&O Canal. The Western Maryland Railroad Station is located here, and scenic trips to nearby Frostburg are popular in the fall
as the leaves change.
Quaint shopping is available along the few downtown blocks in Cumberland, and the Trestle Walk and Crescent Lawn is a prime local spot for getting a taste of the area. A walkway linking the railway station with the C&O Canal,
the walk boasts a park and recreation spot for its visitors.
Paw Paw Tunnel
A century and a half ago, American promoters dubbed it one of the wonders of the world. Today, there is still a sense of awe as walkers or cyclists finish the last curve of the restored canal towpath and see the gaping mouth of the Paw Paw Tunnel.
The hand-carved tunnel — largest man-made structure on the historic C&O Canal — is open to the public year-round. It is located a quarter-mile along the well-maintained towpath from a small park, just across the Potomac River from the railroad town of Paw Paw, Morgan County’s westernmost outpost.
