Virtual Tour: Potential Erie to Corry Segment

Welcome to the Virtual Tour for the potential Erie to Corry segment of the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail! This webpage will take you through a series of stops along the draft alignment for the trail segment, shown in the map below. At this time, the primary alignment (in orange) follows railroad corridors, but alternate on-road alignments (in blue) may also be considered. The map below includes several destinations and wayfinding points for reference.

Zooming in on the map will reveal additional detail. Some items will provide pop-up information when clicked.  Feel free to zoom, pan, and click to learn more!

The potential Erie to Corry segment could become the Erie County portion of the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail, which is expected to span approximately 270 miles upon completion. The system is estimated to be 66% complete, and the Erie to Corry segment would further contribute to its development.

The Erie to Pittsburgh Trail will connect Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh to the Bayfront at Centennial Town in Erie, but the original alignment from 2006 passes through southwestern New York State instead of heading directly north into Erie County. The Erie to Corry Study aims to identify a potential realignment of the northernmost segment of the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail by routing through Corry, rather than New York State. By realigning this portion of the trail system, the City of Corry, the Borough of Union City, the City of Erie, and other municipalities along the way could experience benefits to health, local economies, and residents’ quality of life. The virtual tour will illustrate the potential trail alignment to connect Corry to Erie as part of the regional Erie to Pittsburgh Trail.

This virtual tour will guide you through seven Points of Interest along the potential alignment of the Erie to Corry segment using interactive maps, photos, and descriptions of the opportunities present along the way. The map below provides an overview of the Points of Interest. The next section contains photos and additional details about the points. Each tour stop in the next section will have a small map in the upper left corner which can be used to explore the surrounding area.

The tour is accessible with a computer, tablet, or mobile device. Use the tabs at the top of the page to jump to the corresponding sections, or simply scroll to proceed along all of the Points of Interest.
