Trail Improvements at Canonsburg Lake

Work on improving existing trails began in 2006 on the eastern side of the lower lake when Junior Girl Scout Troop 1942, under the leadership of Bridget Kirwan, began a significant Community Service project. Their immediate goal: improve the existing 1/4 mile trail that connects the two parking lots on the Peters Township side of the lake. At that time, the scouts and community volunteers also created a low-maintenance perennial garden and installed memorial benches at lakeside.

Work on the North Strabane side of the Lake began in 2008 with the installation of a footbridge across a shallow gully. The footbridge was constructed under the leadership of Sam Furlong as an Eagle Scout project. Cost of the footbridge and other trail work is funded by a grant from the Abernathy Fund of the Washington County Community Foundation.
