Don't let the topo map fool you, this trail is not, in fact, under water (Not usually, anyway. It follows the 1907 railroad grade through the Conemaugh Reservoir area.There are times you cross and can see older grades to the north or the still active grade to the south, raised higher to allow the reservoir to back up The eastern section through the reservoir (4.5 miles) is crushed limestone and is very level (avg .28% grade)ending at Newport Road Trailhead. There are 4 bridge crossings and the new Q-Span that highlight the river and wetlands.Bridge # 5 is located between Livermore and Westinghouse......... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To reach the eastern trailhead, watch for the West Penn Trail signs about midway between New Alexandria and Blairsville on Rt. 22. Travel north on Westinghouse Rd. past the plant to the parking area. (N40 27.061 W79 18.198) Midway between the two is a parking area at Livermore Cemetary (N40 27.527 W79 20.142).
