Wills Mountain State Park Connects City, County

Wills Mountain State Park will directly benefit Allegany County and the City of Cumberland because of its natural and scenic beauty and Appalachian heritage, according to County Director of Tourism Ashley Workman.  She said the state park would not only reinforce the county’s reputation for scenic beauty but also enhance tourism…

“They can have lunch in downtown Cumberland, stay overnight, ride the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, explore our history and architecture, visit a brewery, shop, bike the Great Allegany Passage or the C&O Canal Tow Path.  That is why recreation is more than recreation.  It is our gateway, it is our differentiator, and it is economic development.”
