The Montour Trail is a multi-use recreational rail trail near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It used to be the Montour Railroad. It has a crushed limestone surface, appropriate for bicycling, walking, running, and cross-country skiing. Eventually, this trail segment will extend from Coraopolis, Pennsylvania to Clairton, Pennsylvania. The trail is part of a rails to trails project between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland. When completed, it will be part of a trail system between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C, known as the Great Allegheny Passage. ==Connecting trails== *Panhandle Trail: The Montour Trail crosses over the Panhandle Trail on the McDonald Trestle. The Montour-Panhandle connector trail is approximately long and connects the two trails. The Panhandle stretches between Carnegie, Pennsylvania, and Weirton, West Virginia. The last unfinished section between Joffre and Burgettstown was finished in August 2008, and the trail is now complete. *Great Allegheny Passage: This ambitious project is set to link Cumberland, Maryland, and Point State Park in Pittsburgh. Another branch will extend to the Pittsburgh International Airport. The Great Allegheny Passage will, in turn, link to the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which runs from Cumberland to Washington, D.C. *Ohio River Trail: This proposed trail will connect the Montour Trail to the Great Ohio Lake-to-River Greenway in Ohio. When completed the trail will be an important link in a mega-trail system from the Great Lakes Region to Washington, D.C. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montour Trail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
