The Murrysville Trail Alliance (MTA) works to advance facilities and opportunities for recreational trail use in and around Murrysville.  Our interests span all types of trail-based recreation including walking, hiking, road/mountain/rail-trail biking, photography, and cross-country skiing. 

Living in a beautiful area with exceptional parks and open spaces, we work to support and enhance them and expand easy and safe pedestrian and bike access to them.  We believe in the value of recreational trails to strengthen our community by connecting neighborhoods to each other, to parks, and to local businesses and other destinations.  We recognize the value of parks and trails to bring people together, strengthen families, and as an important element of quality of life and sustainable economic vitality for a community.

We recognize the health and happiness benefits of exercise and enjoyment of nature, and value the personal and community benefits of active (human powered) transportation.

Please contact us, or join us for an activity or a meeting!  We invite your participation and welcome your ideas about how to advance facilities or opportunities for trail-based recreation.
