The next segment to the west along the IHTC Pittsburgh to Harrisburg Corridor is the Roaring Run Trail (page NE-193) in Edmon about 6 miles following the Kiskiminetas River. At least a mile is passably by mountain bike on the old railroad grade, but it is packed dirt with rocks and roots.
The next segment to the east along the IHTC Pittsburgh to Harrisburg Corridor is the Blairsville Riverfront Trail (page NE-211) about 2 miles away.
Another western connection is on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail (page NE-253), which branches off in Saltsburg at MP0 and continues via Turtle Ck eventually to connect with the trails on the north side of the Monongahela River.
