Trolley Line Trail

Proposed

The Trolley Line Trail is a proposed 1.5 mile trail along the former West Penn Railways trolley route between Irwin and Larimer. If built, this trail would expand access to beautiful trails at Hilltop Park.

A study of the trail begins in the fall of 2026 and will be completed by the summer of 2027. It will gather public input, assess whether the trail is feasible, and estimate what it would cost to build.

Help us build the trails

Every donation and every volunteer hour moves us closer to a connected Norwin.
