I was told yesterday that some of the CO trail between Hancock and Lil Orleans has been paved. Anyone have info on this? Thanks.

The Western Maryland Rail Trail runs parrallel to the C&O there for 22.5 miles, both within sight of each other. Look for the access signs for the turnoffs. Check Google Maps and turn on Bicycling to see the two trails. The paved asphalt is a welcome change after the rocks, tree roots, and mud of the C&O!
