Reviewed February 1, 2017. The trail runs from Pittsburgh Pa. to Cumberland Md. to the terminus of the C&O Canal. The first couple of miles of the trail from Cumberland through the Historic Narrows is paved. This makes for a great walking trail or for riding bikes.
The trail passes through national parks and forests, state parks and is open to the public year-round. Although hikers enjoy many freedoms along the trail, the Appalachian Trail has some rules and regulations to help keep it maintained and to conserve the wilderness surrounding the trail. Some rules apply to the all national parks or the entire trail, but some rules apply only to specific sections of the trail.
