Bike, Hike or Canoe

The Youghiogheny River Trail (YRT) and most of the other trails that make up The Great Allegheny Passage, has been constructed on an old railroad bed. The trail has a limestone surface and is great for biking, hiking, walking and jogging. In the winter months, if Mother Nature is willing, this is a fantastic spot for cross-country skiing. The West Newton trail-head is located a short 2./10 mile from the Inn along the West Side of the Youghiogheny River. This network of trails connect Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh, PA and currently provide over 100 continuous miles of smooth surface with an addition 52-mile branch to the Pittsburgh International Airport. In Cumberland, MD the Great Allegheny passage connects to the C&O Canal Towpath providing continuous access to Washington D.C. The Inn has secure, indoor storage for bikes.

Korber's Bike Shop is located at the YRT trail head. This is a full service shop where you can rent bikes, purchase bikes and accessories or have your bike serviced.

Youghiogheny Canoe Outfitters is the place to go for all of your canoeing and fishing needs. They are located just past the YRT trail head. They offer canoe rentals, bait and fishing equipment. For those of you who would like to take longer canoe rides, the also offer shuttle services.
