For all of you riders new to the towpath and passage, cell coverage is bad or none existant except near the major trailheads.Rockwood has a booster. Don't know of any others.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about that. My phone is with AT&T and their coverage is not very good anyway.

Verison was pretty much dead from Cumberland to DC on the trail, too. My tracker app still worked on GPS and whatever location services were around, but there was no phone signal.

This was so true. Just turn your phone off and save the battery.
