The trail connects at the east end in Saltsburg with the West Penn Trail (page NE-205). This trail goes east for about 12.7 miles to near Blairsville and about 2 miles northwest towards Apollo.
The trail on the west end will eventually travel down the Turtle Creek Valley and enter the town of North Braddock. From there it will cross the river and join with the Great Allegheny Passage to Washington DC and Pittsburgh (See the Southeast Volume of this guide).
