The Montour Trail at Summit Drive. The Montour Trail recently opened 0.4 mile of temporary trail between milepost 36 and Wood Street, South Park Township, to reduce the on-road route on Brownsville Road from 0.7 to 0.3 miles. Completion of the trail section will not take place until 2021, but the temporary trail is suitable for bicycles and walkers.

The South Hills Friends are responsible for maintenance of the Montour Trail between Library and Clairton. The Friends are looking for volunteers to perform self-directed trail work including clearing leaves from the trail, string trimming of trail shoulders, removal of downed trees, ditch clearing and tree trimming. Volunteers will work alone or in small physically distanced groups, working within speaking distance. The Friends are also planning one or more work parties in November to clear leaves from the trail and ditches. Individuals interested in volunteering may email info@montourtrail.org. General questions may be directed to the same address.

The Friends would like to thank the many generous trail users whose donations made the 2020 ‘Penny Day’ the most successful of the South Hills Friends 15-year history.

Additional information concerning the trail, including South Hills Friends contact information, may be obtained on the Montour Trail web site www.montourtrail.org.
