====The Narrows and Lovers Leap====
The Narrows is a compact notched valley that [[Wills Creek (North Branch Potomac River)|Wills Creek]] has carved into [[Wills Mountain]]. Inventor [[Frederick John Bahr]] bought Wills Mountain and built his log cabin on top.

The [[National Road]] ([[U.S. Route 40 in Maryland|U.S. Route 40]]) and a number of railroad lines pass through this steep, narrow, and rocky river valley on the edge of Cumberland. On the northeast side of Wills Mountain, sits a rocky outcropping known as [[Lover's Leap]]. The name comes from a Native American Romeo and Juliet legend. The tale tells how a jilted lover met his end by jumping off this ledge. Today, the rocks high above the water provide extensive views of the [[Allegheny Mountains]]. Lover's Leap has been frequently romanticized by postcard pictures of this valley, including those taken by George Steward in 1950 and published in the 1953 book ''U.S. 40''.

Lover's Leap is {{convert|1652|ft|m}} above sea level and made up of oddly squared projections of rock, from its top, all the way down to the National Highway (U.S. Rte. 40) below. The City of Cumberland and the neighboring states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia may be seen from this point.
