Long Term Parking in Cumberland

Hi folks! I'm getting ready to hit the trail from Perryopolis to Cumberland with a little rafting in between. We are leaving this Friday and I'd like to park a car at the long term parking lot in Cumberland (the parking lot under the bridge). I'm just checking to see if there is any protocol to notify someone in Cumberland that the car will be there for 3 nights, or do I just drop the car off and hope that it is still there on Monday? I haven't heard of any problems at the lot, but figured I'd double check just in case. Thanks!

There is no longer parking "under the bridge" due to construction. You can however park in the dirt and gravel lot just to the side of the bridge. It's right beside the Fairfield Inn and the beginning of the C&O Canal. You can check with the bike shop when you arrive but I've parked there 3 years in a row with no hassle. The first year I let the staff at the C&O Visitor Center know but they weren't concerned. Be aware that on occasion there has been glass in the parking lot.

Just noticed that this your request was posted on July 30th. Hope you get this message but I'm sure you'll figure it out when you arrive.

When I parked in the gravel lot, summer of 2013, you could register your car at the canal visitor center so they would know it was there.
