Trails of Cumberland County
In 2025 there are over 100 miles of hiking trails in the county, up from 30 miles in 2012, and these trails are well used by residents and visitors. The historical growth of the trails systems in the county shows there is a lot of public support for more trails as evidenced by the number of volunteers who do physical work on the trails, the enthusiasm shown by hikers when new trails are added into the inventory and the enthusiastic participation in the local Hiking Marathon.

Interactive Map of County Trails
This is a new feature we are trying out. Let us know what you think.
We have created a Google “My Map” of Cumberland County and added many of the trails as GPX tracks. We think this is a useful feature as it allows you to zoom in on the trail, get driving directions and use other common features of Google maps. We will be adding more trails and features.
