Cycling the Montour and Panhandle Trails

The connector trail between the GAP and the Montour is not yet completed. We picked up the Montour Trail at its southeastern terminus in Clairton Park, Clairton, Pennsylvania, just southeast of Pittsburgh. Honored as the Pennsylvania Trail of the Year in 2017, the Montour is the ‘nations’s longest suburban rail-trail’ and the main line stretches about 47 miles. In 2019 and 2020, readers of Pittsburgh Magazine named the Montour Trail Best in the Burgh in the hiking/biking category.
