Greenfield / Hancock County
In
Hancock County and eastward the favored route of the NRHT is the former
Pennsylvania Railroad corridor, which closely parallels the Historic
National Road. The well-established Pennsy Trail sections across
Greenfield (5.5 miles) and Cumberland (3.0 miles) have demonstrated for the entire county the benefits of this
type of amenity.

Open Trail
A
5.5-mile paved trail exists across Greenfield. A 3.0-mile paved
trail exists across Cumberland, 2.0 miles of which are in Hancock
County.
Future Plans
A local organization has been formed to
promote and develop a Pennsy Trail connection between Cumberland and
Greenfield.
