The trail is not yet complete, and substantial sections are still on roads. It was initiated in 1975, and is being built and maintained by the [http://wvscenictrails.org West Virginia Scenic Trails Association] .

The northern terminus of the Allegheny Trail is near Bruceton Mills, West Virginia at the Mason-Dixon Line, which here represents the boundary between West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The trail ends at the Appalachian Trail on Peters Mountain on the Virginia-West Virginia border.
