McConnellsburg Region

Like many regions of The Alleghenies, the McConnellsburg Region was home to a frontier fort built to protect settlers from the wilderness that surrounded them. Today, the challenges of the high ridges and wooded slopes that tested the mettle of early settlers, provide adventure opportunities for hikers, bikers, birdwatchers and fishermen who come to challenge themselves in lands of history and striking beauty.
