Mountain Maryland Trails (Formerly Allegheny Highlands Trail of Maryland) is a citizen's group formed in the 1990's to promote Maryland's portion of a project that has become known at the Great Allegheny Passage.

We worked with the Maryland Department of Planning, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Maryland Greenways Commission, six similar trail groups in Pennsylvania that comprise the Allegheny Trail Association (the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, Canal Place Preservation and Development Authority, the Allegany County Office of Tourism, the Maryland Department of Transportation, and the Chamber of Commerce) and various local and state officials to secure the funding which completed the Maryland portion of this trail.

Mountain Maryland Trails (MMT) follows the route of the historic Western Maryland Railroad for 20.47 miles from Cumberland to the Pennsylvania line. From Cumberland to Frostburg the trail parallels the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and its steam locomotive.

Maryland's trail segment is now complete!
