5.0Great Allegheny Passage(248 reviews) - GAP and C&O bicycle touring adventure Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Biking Trails • Hiking Trails
The Great Allegheny Passage soars over valleys, snakes around mountains, and skirts alongside three rolling rivers on its nearly level path from Cumberland, Md. to Pittsburgh. Cyclists pass through the Cumberland Narrows, cross the Mason-Dixon Line, top the Eastern Continental Divide, wind their way through Pennsylvania’s breathtaking Laurel Highlands, journey through the region’s coke, coal, mining, and steel-making corridor, and end at Pittsburgh’s majestic Point State Park. Stunning views of waterfalls, gorges, river valleys, and farmland are everywhere, especially from outside the Big Savage Tunnel, from the sweeping Salisbury Viaduct, at both ends of the Pinkerton Tunnel, and via the Ohiopyle High and Low Bridges. Riders overlook the joining of rivers at Confluence, McKeesport, and Pittsburgh, and can explore adjoining peninsulas, state parks, hollows, wildflower stands, and forests on foot at many places along the trail.See more..
4.5Sligo Creek Park(96 reviews) - a local treasure Spent 2-3 hours Biking Trails • Parks • Hiking Trails
This is one of those places tourists probably don't get to, but it's special enough for tourists and a fantastic resource for locals. There is a long walking/running/biking etc. trail next to the creek, set in the woods, as well as a parkway (sections of it close on Sundays so you can walk or ride on the road as well, which is fun). There a playgrounds and other recreational resources (grills, exercise stations, basketball courts, tennis courts) dotted along its length, a lot of picturesque bridges. You can see herons and deer. Sligo is a well-used and loved resource. There were recent improvements made to the drainage, etc. Great place to walk - a lot of really tall tulip trees. Beautiful in the autumn. See more..
4.5Ma and Pa Trail(89 reviews) - Get Outdoors! Biking Trails • Hiking Trails
The trail is a great place for walking and socializing with friends. You can also ride bikes, push strollers, jog. Me, I'm a walker. And one of the nicest parts, depending on how energetic you feel or how much time you have, you can walk half way or round trip from Annie's Playground all the way to Ellendale Street.See more..

4.5Green Ridge State Forest(30 reviews) - Great place to explore Spent More than 3 hours State Parks • Biking Trails • Hiking Trails
I took my 4 year old camping with me last year at Green Ridge. It was crowded and all the numbered sites were taken so we did have to cruise around the Forrest for an hour and a half to find an open spot to camp. We ended up on the 4x4 road past all numbered sites. Despite not being a numbered site there was a fireplace and a platform to set up on. My 4 year old loved and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get outside and explore solo or with family and friends. See more..

4.5Western Maryland Rail Trail(5 reviews) - Nice Bike Trail Spent 1-2 hours Biking Trails • Hiking Trails Paved and relatively flat bike path. Shaded most of the time, and places to stop for lunch or use the bathroom (portapotties). Our group of nine took the path west from Hancock, it is 15 miles one way. A doable trek for inexperienced bikers like ourselves. Bring dollar bills, one or two houses that line the path may have coolers stocked with ice cold water for your to purchase.See more..
The trail runs 17 miles from the Chesapeake to the Delaware River. The pavement is good, and even excellent on a new section near Delaware City where they moved the trail away from the water. One of our favorites anywhere!See more..
