Panhandle Trail - Development Plans

The Panhandle is an important link in a growing network of traffic-free recreational trails. It will provide a link from the Pittsburgh area to the emerging West Virginia-Ohio system.

There is a potential connection from the current western end, on to the Ohio River and then south to connect up with the Yankee Trail (described in the Southwest Volume of this guide) in Wellsburg. The Yankee Trail connects to the Brooke Pioneer Trail(described in the Southwest volume of this guide), which connects to the Wheeling Trail system.

There is hope to extend the eastern end of the trail into Carnegie and beyond.
