The Trans-Allegheny Trails System is a collection of 13 different picturesque trails in the Allegheny Mountains, including trails along the Main Line Canal Greenway.
The 2011 RTC Rail Trail Sojourn led to the creation of the Trans Allegheny Trails System. Trail builders are now working together to market and connect a mix of level and terrain trails, creating a unique riding experience across bridges and river valleys.
The town of Saltsburg lies along the Conemaugh and Kiskiminetas Rivers where the West Penn and Westmoreland Heritage trails meet. Saltsburg has a unique history to share with its visitors. The construction of the town was based around salt wells, canals, and the railroad. The Main Line Canal ran through the downtown before the arrival of the railroad. Each year, Saltsburg celebrates Canal Days honoring their transportation heritage right along the trails. Click here for this Trail Town’s Business Opportunities.
