Frostburg · Maryland
A whole town at your door.
Everything worth doing in Frostburg is a short walk from your room. Steam whistles in the morning, a brewery crawl at night, and a mountain town that has not forgotten how it got here.
Three hundred yards from the trail
The Tunnel Hotel, also known as the Trail Inn at Frostburg, sits at 20 Depot St, Frostburg, MD 21532. You can see the depot from the porch and the GAP is a few minutes' walk. Park once, leave the keys, and do the whole town on foot or on a bike.
Western Maryland Scenic Railroad
The Frostburg Flyer; historic steam locomotive 1309. The Frostburg Flyer climbs the mountain from Cumberland behind a restored steam locomotive, and our Queen City Combo rides pair a railbike run with a seat on the train. Rails both ways, the way this town was built to move.
