WELCOME TO THE BLAIRSVILLE RIVERFRONT TRAIL.........THIS IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE 1.7 MILE TRAIL AND FUTURE CONNECTOR FOR THE WEST PENN TRAIL AND HOODLEBUG TRAIL...............TRAIL IS LOCATED ON PROPERTY LEASED FROM THE ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS,CONEMAUGH RIVER LAKE ....... TAR & CHIP SURFACE IS PERFECT FOR BIKES, WALKING AND HIKING................TRAIL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR A FEW MONTHS ALREADY,BUT WORK CREWS NEEDED TIME TO GET THE REST STATIONS , SIGNAGE LOCATED AND INFO BOARDS INSTALLED ....TRAIL ACCESS AND PARKING IS OFF W. MARKET ST. ,BELOW THE GAZEBO ON TO S.WATER ST BELOW THE GAZEBO ..........MINIMAL OFFICIAL PARKING AT THE TRAIL HEAD BUT PLENTY OF ROOM ALONG LIGHTLY TRAVELED ST. ............I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE FLOODING WHICH IS CONTROLED BY THE CONEMAUGH DAM..........THIS AREA DOES FLOOD DURING HEAVY RAINY SEASONS AND SPRING THAWS.....TRAIL HAS ALREADY BEEN UNDER WATER MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO FLOODING........MAKE SURE CACHES ARE REPLACED,TIED OR WEIGHTED TO AVOID FLOATISM.....................ALL THE TOWNS, MINES AND FACTORIES ALONG THE RIVER AREA WERE CONDEMNED IN THE 1940'S BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE FLOOD PLAIN OF THE CONEMAUGH DAM............YOUR LOOKING FOR A BISON CONTAINER........BYOP.....REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!! NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES BEYOND THE CACHE.............
