The Montour Trail is a multi-use non-motorized recreational rail trail near Pittsburgh, PA traveling 47 miles from Coraopolis to Clairton. Multiple branch routes increase length to 60+ miles.

Currently, multiple sections of the trail totaling about 30 miles are completed. New sections are being added each year.
