Ride or walk through history as you travel the Coal and Coke Trail, linking Mount Pleasant and Scottdale. Set on scenic old railroad corridors, the Coal and Coke Trail provides outdoor recreational opportunities for walkers, joggers, bikers, hikers, and cross-country skiers. The trail also offers non-motorized, handicapped-accessible transportation for area residents and tourists.

Enjoy beautiful natural areas and wildlife while following Jacob’s Creek past old coke ovens along the way. You’ll be following in history’s footsteps as you travel along the same paths as General Braddock, H.C. Frick, Andrew Carnegie, A.C. Cochran, and others.

Beginning at PA-31 (Main Street) in Mount Pleasant, the Coal and Coke Trail heads southwest to the old corridor of the Scottdale Branch of the Pennsylvania railroad toward Scottdale. The trail turns alongside the active Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad, to the town of Bridgeport, where it crosses both Shupe Run and Budkeye Road, and continues southwest to Ironbridge. at the East Huntingdon Sewage Plant in Ironbridge, the trial leaves the railroad corridor for a short distance and shared Sewage Treatment Lane to the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road (Old 119). After crossing Mount Pleasant Road, the trail is once again on the old corridor of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The trail then continues under the US-119 highway and across Sherrickrun into North Scottdale. Once again the trail exits the old rail corridor to share Mildred Street as it heads toward Scottdale. the trail continues down Mildred Street to the four-way stop sign at the intersection of Overholt Drive. Turn left onto the trail along Overhold Drive and follow the trail to Kendi Park.
