The P2P Trail Corridor is made up of seven trails spanning nine counties across West Virginia and Pennsylvania: 

These trails make up the 238-mile trail connection between Parkersburg and Pittsburgh, which is already more than 80 percent complete. When completed, the P2P will be one of the longest non-motorized rail-trail systems in the United States. The P2P is part of the larger Industrial Heartland Trails Coalition trail network.

P2P Regional Master Plan

We need YOU. Residents. Local leaders. Business owners. Trail users.

Your voice is key in the planning process for the P2P Trail Corridor.

The National Road Heritage Corridor (NRHC) and seven partner organizations have launched a major regional planning effort to unlock the community and economic potential of a completed trail system from West Virginia to Pennsylvania. This master plan will explore the full potential of the completed trail network.

This plan requires extensive public engagement. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date on trail news and all opportunities to engage. Both virtual and in-person discussions will be hosted across all involved counties.
