Montour Trail
A 46-mile, scenic multi-use rail-trail in Washington and Allegheny counties, the Montour Trail is the longest suburban rail-trail in the nation. The trail is suitable for running, biking, walking, leashed dog walking, and horseback riding in certain sections. With 25 trailheads, the trail offers easy access for Washington County residents. The Montour Trail connects to other trail systems, including the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath – a trail system stretching over 300 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.
Cross Creek County Park
Cross Creek’s 285-acre lake is a Big Bass and Panfish Enhancement Lake. With separate launches for motorized and non-motorized boats, be sure to check on sailboat length and horsepower limits before you head out on the water. PA fishing license requirements apply. Play areas and shelters are located near two of the three boat launch areas.
Arrowhead Trail
Meandering through Peters Township, the Arrowhead Trail offers 3.5 miles of paved surface for bikers, walkers and joggers. As a portion of the Montour Trail, users have access to trails beyond their local area. There are six parking areas for trail access and multiple locations where bicyclists and pedestrians can hop on and off the trail. The annual Haunted Trail is a spooky nighttime adventure and one of many Arrowhead Trail events coordinated through the Peters Township Parks and Recreation Department.
Ten-Mile Creek County Park
Located in southern Washington County, the park features fishing, hiking and walking trails, picnic shelters, restrooms, and a boat launch. Ten Mile Creek is a tributary of the Monongahela River, providing boat access to a larger waterway.
Panhandle Trail
A rail-trail with asphalt and crushed stone surfaces, the 29.2-mile Panhandle Trail is suitable for walking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. The trail traverses through Washington and Allegheny counties in Pennsylvania, and Brooke and Hancock counties in West Virginia. The trail is part of the Industrial Heartland Tails Coalition’s developing 1500 mile trail network winding through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York.
