THE MONTOUR TRAIL A MULTI-USE RAIL-TRAIL IN ALLEGHENY AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, PA BECOME A MEMBER DONATE IN TRIBUTE Trail Alerts TRAIL AND MAPS VOLUNTEER
Support What You Love

GivingTuesday is on MTC’s calendar the week after Thanksgiving — the global movement that brings people together annually to support not-for-profit organizations that make a difference in their communities. And participating in GivingTuesday is a great way to celebrate the Trail that is regularly voted as the top rail-trail in southwestern Pennsylvania (City Paper, Pittsburgh Magazine)! We hope you’ll choose to support Montour Trail Council as your finances allow.

Your generosity on Tuesday, December 3, will support crucial 2025 capital improvement projects, including the Route 51 (MM 43.5) sidewalk to enhance trail user safety, streambank protection to minimize flooding, and the Coraopolis connector at MM 0.

On December 3, you can donate directly to Montour Trail Council here. Alternatively, you can donate through GiveBig Pittsburgh, the local nonprofit donation platform.

We hope you’ll join us!

Honor Your Loved Ones

There’s a new way to support the Trail: Honor Bricks are a wonderful expression of respect and appreciation for an important person, pet or event in your life. We call them Honor Bricks because they memorialize those living and gone from our lives. Click to learn more about this tangible tribute, available for Cecil, Peters Township and South Hills locations.

Tour the Montour Success

Sponsors and participants contributed about $70,000 to the Montour Trail Council’s coffers — funding that will be used to keep the trail in pristine condition! Congrats to all the bikers who participated, and thanks to our generous sponsors and indispensable volunteers.

This Outstanding Rail-Trail is in Your Back Yard!

The Montour Trail is a multi-use, non-motorized recreational pathway around Pittsburgh, the country’s longest suburban rail-trail. It is privately owned and operated. The main line extends ~47 miles; branch routes increase length to 60+ miles. The relatively flat half-loop stretches from Coraopolis (along the Ohio River) to Clairton (on the Monongahela River). A northwest branch connects directly to Pittsburgh International Airport.

The Montour connects to other rails-to-trails in western Pennsylvania and beyond: the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) and the C&O Canal Towpath, a completed trail system that stretches 300+ miles from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC.; the Panhandle Trail — a converted railroad line that stretches from Weirton, West Virginia, to Carnegie. And this local resource is part of U.S. Bicycle Route 50, which runs east-west and, when completed, will span the country.

Currently, 46 miles of the Montour Trail are continuous with several short gaps in the southeast section.

The Trail is easy to get to by car, as there are access areas and trailheads every few miles along the route. Pittsburgh’s rapid transit system runs near some of these, and it is bike friendly. The Trail is ADA accessible as well.

Some of the original Montour Trail Council founders met up in 2023 for a mid-autumn bike ride. L to R: Dino Angelici (first MTC VP), Tim Killmeyer, Paul McKeown, Stan Sattinger (first MTC president), Dave Wright.
