Are the pumps open from Cumberland to Hancock? I am planning on a overnight trip with my dog and planning with regate to the amount of water.

Dave - The pumps are working but I would bring enough water on your person to reach the next town because sometimes the park service tests the water and if it’s not up to standard, they remove the handles.

I would say always carry enough for emergencies.

Good luck,
John
