Steel Valley Trail Council

TRAIL APPRECIATION DAY
SATURDAY, MAY 16

The Steel Valley Trail Council is hosting a Trail Appreciation Ride on Saturday, May 16. The ride will start at the end of the new apartment building next to the Hampton Inn. The ride will end at the Roundhouse in the McKeesport RIDC. A former steel mill worker will be there to talk about his experiences working summers in both the Duquesne Steel Mill and the McKeesport National Tube Works.

You can then ride back to the Steel Valley Trail Council’s maintenance building for lunch. For a shorter ride you can stop at the maintenance building skipping the longer ride to the Roundhouse.

Parking will be at the GAP Trailhead in between the Storming Crab and Citizens Bank. Arrive at the apartment building 10:45 for a brief recap of the points of interest along the ride. There have been a lot of significant trail improvements last year and into this year.

More details to come.

National Trail Appreciation Day was the weekend of the NFL Draft. We thought that might not be a good day for our ride!

The Sinkhole is No More

On Thursday Folino Construction milled and paved about 100 feet of trail eliminating the sinkhole on the trail just above the Whitaker Flyover. We hope you enjoy riding on this new smooth section of trail.

If you appreciate the improvements we are making to the trail please consider becoming a Steel Valley Trail Council member. Go to:
