Had a nice cool ride today. 32 degrees. Trail is pretty good. I only had to go off in one spot where the trail was washed out. Most of the trail is paved, so this is a good alternative if there has been any rain.
Tunnel is closed. I ventured over the top and it's tough
Just got done this trail 10/9. Gap trail is a wonderful easy ride. Places we stayed were awesome! Bright Morning B&B, Ohiopyle suites. We stayed in the Karly. It was great! Right off the trail!! Coffee shop is great too. They also have a laundromat. We then traveled to Meyersdale where we stayed in the hotel airstream! Gotta stay here! It was great! Know that if you need to take the train back to Pittsburgh like we had too, it can run late. 5hrs for us. We met so many nice people along the way. That’s what I think of when I think of this trail!
I decided to park in Cumberland on my way home from a trip to WV and ride down the C&O towpath to ride this trail.
I was disappointed in the state of the trail. It appears as if no one is maintaining this trail.
The path on the Maryland side is now almost covered with encroaching weeds.
The bridge is in good enough shape to permit you to ride across to West Virginia for the time being but it looks a little iffy. If no one is taking care of this trail the wooden planks may need replacing. At some point it may become a dangerous crossing when these planks start rotting.
The tunnel is blocked off so you can go no further than the WV side of the bridge.
I would recommend that riders skip this trail until such time as it is maintained.
We just rode this trail and it had lots of leaves. It was hard to look at the creek and waterfalls as we had to keep our head down on the many ridges. There are no immediate restrooms along the trail. We got off at Masonville and was directed to Ace Hardware where they had 2 restrooms at the back of the store. We ate at Subway in Reedsville but that was not easy getting there. There is a garden cafe nearby but it’s open Friday-Sunday.
We rode the trail end of September 2025. Gorgeous day cool temps & sunny. Later in the day it got warmer but this trail has plenty of shade. Fallen leaves all over the trail made it so beautiful. Since we don’t have a fall season in Fla. we were embracing the beauty in front of us. We rode 8.5 miles one way. It’s a must do when you’re in the area.
We just finished the GAP trail & C&O towpath 9/20 from Pittsburgh to DC. We took 8 days and our days ranged between 32 miles to 63 miles. Highly recommend this trail. Well maintained, accessible and clean port a John’s, always had plenty of toilet paper and were frequent enough to remove any anxiety about not being able to relieve yourself in privacy. Potable water was available along the trail which we still used a filter just to be safe. Beautiful trail, friendly riders and towns to visit. We rented a full sized SUV in DC and dropped it off at the Budget on Stanwix St just two blocks from fountain starting point. Worked perfectly to get going on our ride without delay.
This is probably the most I could handle on a bike ride. We rode the GAP and C&O back to back like many do in 8 days. It was great fun but the C&O is noticeably rougher, fewer port-a-Johns and very scarce potable water sources. On our 7th day from Williamsport to Brunswick we ran out of water midway and rode the remaining 25 miles without water. Fortunately the shade offered by the beautiful canopy of trees made it bearable. We made sure to load up on extra water on our final day. The mix of loose sand that caught us by surprise & the larger stones on the trail made for a more challenging ride than expected. On the one rainy day we had from Cumberland to Little Orleans, some of the puddles we encountered offered a new sense of “oh dear” as we didn’t know how deep the hole we were riding thru when there was no room to go around the puddle.
I just completed the entire GAP. It was well worth it. The trail was in good shape and there was not too much traffic. I’d like to do it again.
Did this trail this afternoon. Ride on the roads for short distances. Signs point where to go. Rode around IUP campus for awhile. Would do again if it was not so far from home (1hr or so)
Very relaxing and easy to walk, stroll a buggy or ride a bike.
