Welcome to the Westmoreland Heritage Trail Chapter, one of the newest chapters of the Regional Trail Corporation. The trail chapter’s long term goal is acquire and construct a twenty mile hiking and bicycling trail from Saltsburg to Trafford. Five miles of trail are completed and open from Saltsburg to Slickville. The next portion of trail to be constructed will be from Slickville to Delmont.
The trail will be built in segments as property and funding are obtained. The trail as constructed and future construction is ideal for walking, jogging, bicycling, and cross cross-country skiing. The trail has wide flat handicapped accessible surface and will accommodate everyone regardless of age or physical ability.
The heritage of the corridor includes numerous coal mining, salt mining, gas and oil well sites. At the western end in Trafford, founded by George Westinghouse, is the site of his second plant.
The Westmoreland Heritage Trail Chapter is a volunteer organization and is associated with the Regional Trail Corporation, a non-profit entity which promotes the conversion of railroad right-of-ways into trails within Westmoreland, Allegheny and Fayette Counties. By becoming a member of the chapter, you can help us make this trail a reality!
