West Penn Trail - Development Plans

Allegheny Ridge Corporation continues to work with Main Line Canal Greenway partners Conemaugh Valley Conservancy and Roaring Run Watershed Association to link this trail to the Roaring Run Trail (page NE-193)) at Edmon.

Efforts are underway through Allegheny Ridge Corporation and Indiana County Office of Planning and Development to eventually link the West Penn with Blairsville Riverfront Trail, Hoodlebug and Ghost Town trails to the east. This includes a new (2026) pedestrian/bike bridge over US22. A recent (2018) safety audit identified possible safety improvements between Blairsville and Newport Rd along PA217.
