The Montour Trail offers a prime example of a superb rail-trail experience right in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. As one of the nation's longest suburban rail-trails, spanning approximately 47 miles along a relatively flat half-loop, from Coraopolis by the Ohio River to Clairton along the Monongahela River, it provides an extensive recreational pathway.
Branch routes extend its length to over 60 miles, with a northwest branch directly linking to Pittsburgh International Airport. Additionally, it seamlessly connects with other regional trails, including the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath, forming part of the extensive 300+ mile trail network from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC.
It's easily accessible by car and public transit, with numerous access points and ADA-compliant facilities along the way, ensuring a convenient and inclusive experience for all trail users.
