The trail has a natural country setting with a canopy of trees overhead and views of the Conemaugh River, Loyalhanna Creek and the Beaver Run Reservoir. The trail chapter’s goal is to acquire and construct a twenty-two mile trail from Saltsburg to Trafford, and extend 4 miles to connect with the Great Allegheny Passage. The trail will be built in segments as property and funding are obtained. The trail is ideal for walking, jogging, bicycling and cross country skiing. It has a wide and fl at handicapped accessible surface and will accommodate everyone regardless of age or physical ability. The Heritage corridor includes historic community centers in Saltsburg, Slickville, Export, South Murrysville and Trafford, which grew from local industries in salt mining, coal mining and natural gas extraction. to Trafford, and then complete the last four miles it would take to connect to the Great Allegheny Passage that runs from Point State Park in Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Md., and on to Washington, D.C., via the C&O Canal Trail. “I do believe that these trail net-works, as they become true net-works, are going to become more and more useful to people,” said Jeffrey Richards, Westmoreland County’s parks planning coordina-tor. “There’s an expression coined by a greenways planner that every doorstep should be a trailhead, which is cool.” The first section of the Westmoreland Heritage Trail to be completed was Saltsburg to Slick-ville in 2008. Then the Slickville to Delmont portion was completed in 2013. Beginning in Saltsburg, the trail branches off the West Penn Trail and crosses the Conemaugh River then goes through a tunnel under Route 981 with murals painted by a local Girl Scout troop. From there, you enter the quiet of the woods with views of the river for a short time and, then, Loyalhanna Creek as it winds along its path. adno=6483153 PAID ADVERTISEMENT 483153 JEANNETTE Once known as the “Glass City” for its many glass plants around the turn into the 20th century, Jeannette continues to reinvent itself nestled in central Westmoreland County.
