National Park Service to Assist with Ohio River Trail Study

A group looking to develop a 41-mile-long land and water trail system along the Ohio River and its tributaries will receive technical assistance for the project from the National Park Service.

The National Park Service staff will help the Ohio River Trail Council complete a feasibility study and expand public involvement in the proposed trail project, which will run from the beginning of the Montour Trail in Moon and end at the border between Pennsylvania and Ohio near Route 68 in the Beaver County community of Ohioville.

Peggy Pings, an outdoor recreation planner for the National Park Service, characterized the proposed Ohio River Trail as "a critical and missing link to nationally significant trail linkages."
