The Erie to Pittsburgh Trail is a rail trail currently in development in Western Pennsylvania and Western New York.[1] When completed the trail will stretch approximately 270 miles from Erie, PA to Pittsburgh, PA. [2] It will connect to the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal to create 605 miles of continuous off road trail from Erie, PA to Washington, D.C.. It will also connect to the Erie Canal trail via the flat New York Bike Route 517 along Lake Erie.[3]
