Summit to Muleshoe
The 6 to 10 Trail System of the park follows
the route of the Allegheny Portage Railroad
(APRR) of the 19th Century. The hiking
sections of the trail are located on or near
the original route of the APRR. The bicycle
section is located on the route of the New
Portage Railroad.
The APRR with its ten incline planes was in operation
from 1834 to 1854 carrying passengers, canal boats and
goods between Hollidaysburg and Johnstown.
The main park visitor center, at the Gallitzin Exit of US
Route 22, has displays, brochures, rangers, and a film to
tell you more about the APRR. You can also learn more
at the park website (www.nps.gov/alpo). Call for more
information, special tours and events. 814 886-6150
