This is must do hike, about 4 hours relax drive from Long Island including a pit stop, it’s a 7 mile hike ( you have the option to do a 3.5 hike) with 21 waterfalls. It’s breathing taking, being in a forest intrigued by waterfalls of varying size. It’s such a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of life......it was an idyllic hike. I WILL do it again????????

I live within walking distance of Tyler Park and the Covered Bridge...nice walking trails, good workout up and down the hills. Nice place to bring your dog on a leash. Many dog folks dont abide by the rule of leashing their dog and it becomes an unpleasant experience if you have a dog that is anxious. So please be courteous and respectful and leash your dog..

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!

The 339-acre Kinzua Bridge State Park, is the home of the reinvented Kinzua Viaduct. The Viaduct, once the longest and tallest railroad structure at 2,053 feet long and 301 feet high, was partially destroyed by a tornado in 2003. Reinvented as a pedestrian walkway during 2011, visitors can stroll 624 feet out on the remaining support towers, peer miles out into the Kinzua Gorge, and gaze down through the partial glass platform at the end of the walkway. The Kinzua Bridge State Park Visitor Center and Park Office features great views, self-guiding exhibits, and information about the surrounding area.

It is a short (10 minute) walk from downtown Pittsburgh (Cultural District area) to the golden triangle or tip where 3 rivers meet. This free park is bustling with families, joggers, people walking or biking. From Point State Park, you can see across the river to the sports stadiums, and view the Warhol, Carson and Clemente bright yellow sister bridges. There is a historical section for Fort Pitt open during the day.
8. Marsh Creek State Park

Hiking Marsh Creek's circuitous lanes will cross you with three, well to me, ruins of old stone buildings, gates and walls. In the middle of nowhere, where else, you discover an archaic, sunken pipe fed, stone and brick cistern no more than fifty paces from the lake. Why stop a cistern there when you have this great lake too big to leak? And that lake, Marsh Creek Lake, exceeds in boating, fishing and the latest craze paddleboarding. Paddleboarding lets you emulate the Venerable Venetian Gondoliers. But rather than along secure, circumscribed canals, you can find yourself standing on a six foot (two meter) board with a long oar, plop dab in the middle of a 535 acre lake (216.5 hectares.). Your mileage may vary, but it can be scary. Lakeside is full of mini coves, both rocky and sandy, and wooded inlets where one can imagine an hour or two of waterside splendor at no expense. Moreover, go fish with family and or frolic with Fido as we encountered so many doing today. You can rent, also, canoes, kayaks, sailboats and small aluminum skiffs with trolling motors. They even have a pontoon boat which tours visitors of the property. Horses also ply these paths, as do mountain cyclers. Personally I'll share such paths with horses any day. Mountain bikers don't seem to have the horse sense to slow down entering a blind curve. Go to their website for a full list of Marsh Creek offerings. But a visit to Marsh Creek will doubtless make you a convert.

Definitely worth a visit. You can simply drive in and take a short walk to a viewpoint, or hike along the Rim Trail which offers several opportunities to look down at the creek below and over to the other side.
