I will be traveling on the C&O from mile zero to Cumberland MD starting on September 1st. Can anyone tell me what detours I may encounter along this route? If detours do exist what is the best way to get around them.
Thanks

See the National Park Service web site for trail conditions along the C&O Towpath.

Are there tunnels on the trail that lights would be needed?

I went through all the tunnels without any lights. That said, you may be more comfortable going through Paw Paw tunnel if you have a light. It's over half a mile long and is completely dark inside. (You'll want to walk your bike throught Paw Paw regardless of whether you have a light.)

The Big Savage Tunnel on the GAP is long as well. I ride through it without a light but you may well feel safer with one.
