Violet Trail
COVID-19:
When hiking during the coronavirus outbreak, look for trails with
empty parking lots
to reduce the risk of exposure to yourself and fellow hikers. Hike smart and avoid crowded trails.
Dogs (leashed)
The Violet Trail at Duff Park in Murrysville, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.2 mile one-way trail that connects the parking lot to the Trillium Trail.
This trail can be a bit muddy during the rainy season since it runs along a creek with various small runoff streams that lead into the adjacent creek. The trailhead shows red blazes, but you'll find both red and yellow blazes on this trail.
Dogs are allowed on this trail.
Note: This trail data was tracked from the Trillium Trail back to parking, but the opposite direction is still an easy hike uphill.
