The Sheepskin Trail is a non-motorized rail-trail that eventually will link the Great Allegheny Passage trail system near Dunbar, Pennsylvania to the Mon River Trail System at the State Line near Point Marion. Currently, due to funding restrictions, the trail is only opened for 2.1 Miles from the Great Allegheny Passage Juncture to the town center of Dunbar. At which point, there is parking and a comfort station available for public use[1].

In 1997, a feasibility study was completed and in 2007, the former Baltimore and Ohio Line was purchased and Phase 1, which cost $647,927.00[2], was opened in May 2008.
Plans are still being worked out at this time to construct the trail further towards Uniontown, the county seat, and then further to Point Marion, as funding becomes available.
