West Penn Trail

http://www.conemaughvalleyconservancy.org/recreation/recreation.html

 
The West Penn Trail uses the grade of the 1883-1907 line. The trail currently constitutes two sections: The Conemaugh River Lake and the Saltsburg sections. The Conemaugh River Lake section passes over four spectacular stone arch bridges built in 1907 that offer incredible vistas of the serpentine Conemaugh River. From this section, you can catch glimpses of the old canal and railroad grades.

The Saltsburg section passes through the beautiful backwoods by the old canal and railroad remnants, hugging the Conemaugh River.
