Attention Trail Users:
Construction will begin October 3, 2022, near the Mt. Pleasant to Bridgeport section of the Coal and Coke Trail. Signs will be posted and trail users are encouraged to avoid this section. Construction will last two to three weeks.

Ride or walk through history as you travel the Coal & Coke Trail, linking Mt. Pleasant and Scottdale. Set on scenic old railroad corridors, the Coal & Coke Trail provides outdoor recreational opportunities for walkers, joggers, bikers, hikers, and cross-country skiers. The trail also provides non-motorized, handicapped accessible transportation for area residents and tourists (view the Regional Trail Corporation Mobility Device Policy).

Along the way, enjoy beautiful natural areas and wildlife while following Jacob’s Creek past old coke ovens. You’ll be following in history’s footsteps as you travel along the same paths as General Braddock, H.C. Frick, Andrew Carnegie, A.C. Cochran, and others.
