Horse Trail Construction Starts on ANF

Construction of a 38-mile equestrian trail system in the Duhring area of the Marienville Ranger District of the Allegheny National Forest started today, and is expected to be finished in December.

The trail will be worked on in segments, with several segments being worked on simultaneously at times. These segments may not be contiguous, so visitors to the area are advised to be informed of where construction activity may be occurring throughout the next eight months. Maps showing which segments are currently under construction will be posted at Kelly Pines Campground, Bob Summers’ camp, as well as on the trail. Maps will also be available at all Allegheny National Forest offices and on the ANF website, www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/allegheny.

At this time, the Allegheny National Forest is not restricting riding in the areas near the new trail, but equestrians are being asked to stay off of those sections until they are posted open. This is for the safety of visitors and their horses, as well as trail contractor. Avoiding these segments will also help ensure that the project stays on schedule.
