Montour Trail (and Arrowhead) (update for 3rd edition pp 29-51)Boggs to Quicksilver : The section between Boggs and Quicksilver is being developed. Boggs to US22 is complete, US22 to South Champion is open but rough, and South Champion to Quicksilver should be completed in 2001.

This updates the map on p. 36.Cecil Township: A 0.6-mile extension at the western end of this section now connects the trail with PA980 near the intersection with PA50.

At the eastern end, the spur trail from Brush Hollow Rd to Bethel Park may be surfaced in 2002. This updates the maps on pp. 41 and 47. Bethel Park: The trail extends 2.1 mile from Peters Township to the intersection of Logan and Irishtown Roads. Be careful at the busy intersection at Clifton Rd. This updates the map on p. 47.
