Five Star Trail
Trail users in Youngwood may have noticed the construction related signs along the trail between Depot and East Hillis Streets. The bridge on East Hillis Street is being replaced this summer, and the road was to have closed by now but there were delays in the start of construction; the closure is now expected this week. |

The Five Star Trail is a rail with trail that stretches from Lynch Field in Greensburg to Youngwood and is located along the Southwestern Pennsylvania Railroad corridor. At Hillis Street in Youngwood, the trail branches off eastward to connect with the Westmoreland County Community College and continue to Armbrust.
The trail’s flat surface is ideal for walking, jogging, biking, and cross-country skiing. It is handicapped accessible and accommodates everyone regardless of age or physical ability (view the Regional Trail Corporation Mobility Device Policy).
