Where can you park long term (1 week) in Cumberland if the National Park is closed. We use to park under the Interstate overpass.

We have been trying to find this out as well. It has been a C & O lot, and thus should be closed. But the ATA website says nothing.

I'd suggest you phone the Cumberland Trail Connection bicycle shop in Cumberland. I bet they'll have some suggestions for you.

Great minds--we called yesterday and they said that the parking lot is open

I called the bike shop first but was looking for some additional input as I'm parking there for 4 days. Cumberland Connections told me no problem parking for multi days. Just wondering if anyone had done so since the closure.

Not since the closure, but my wife and I left our car there for 6 days while we hiked Connellsville to Cumberland, in July and didn't have any problems.

I finally did get an email back, and they said this was not shut down because it is a joint operation between three organizations: the C & O park, the Western Maryland Historical Society, and the GAP folks.
