Self-Guided First Day Hike at Dans Mountain State Park

Hike the new Lonacona Loop singletrack trail in the mixed hardwood forests of Allegany County’s highest mountain! Expect to encounter rocky terrain, rugged hillsides, and 650 feet of elevation change along this moderately-challenging trail, creating the perfect start to your New Year’s health, fitness, and recreation goals. Please sign in and pick up your “I hiked!” sticker at the trailhead by the Daniel Cresap Monument. No registration required.
