Land OwnerAllegheny County Parks
Orange Loop connects from the mansion parking to Orange Loop, Purple Loop, and #18 & #19 Southeast Loop.
It's a great way to connect up the northern and southern sections of the park. There are some small creek crossings and fun descents that can be found along the way.
It shares a short segment with the Purple Loop on the south side of the road and is great to ride in conjunction with the #18 & #19 Southeast Loop which starts near the trail end near the parking lot.
