Description:
The Montour Trail is a continuous trail between Coraopolis and Clairton, a distance of 48 miles. The Trail connects to the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) at Clairton, linking to the Steel Valley Trail section of the GAP.

The Montour Trail has a smooth surface of crushed limestone, which makes it ideal for all forms of non-motorized use: bicycling, walking, running, cross-country skiing and nature watching. Horseback riding is permitted in certain sections but not on the improved trail surface.

Ravenous Riders Relish Fratelli's
By magicaldog in August, 2011
At 317 east Lincoln Avenue, McDonald PA you will find everything you need to satisfy your appetite after a long ride. Homemade, very reasonable prices and BIG menu make this our must stop after a long ride. Dine in or take out with daily specials. Today was the 16" cheese pizza ($6.00; additional topping $1.50. Try the cappicola). Traditional pizza (handmade dough, homemade sauce), specialty pizzas (try the pierogie pizza yunz Pittsburgers!), fresh hoagies on Mancini's rolls, burgers, soups & salads, appetizers and munchies. Open daily 11AM. YUMMMMM!
One of the Best Trails in Pa
By bykrydr in September, 2010
Numerous starting points and well marked when you must leave the trail. Great bridges and trestles and a few tunnels. This trail has it all. Better with a little wider tire but most areas can be ridden on 700X35 or 26" smooth tread. Pleanty of shade and numerous rest areas and water stops.

Can't wait until it connects with the rest of the Great Allegheny Passage
MONTOUR TRAIL
By SMOOTHER SCHOONER in October, 2008
On October 18, 2008 a new section of the Montour Trail was dedicated and opened. It spans a five (5) mile section from Hendersonville west to the U.S.RT.19 corridor on Saddlebrook Road. Three bridges and one tunnel are there to be enjoyed by the traveler. This is definitely a "JEWEL" to be experienced first hand. There are two (2) road crossings that require you to walk down/up embankments but definitely well worth the effort. Foliage during this FALL was outstanding to say the least! Many years of efforts by various entities, both on and behind the scenes made this segment possible!
