Hays Woods Entrance

Peaceful surroundings. Ride along the river and clear your mind and get some exercise along the way. Clean trail and friendly people make it an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. Ride on it weekly to or from town. Rest stop is clean with picnic benches and a pleasant atmosphere. Water pumps would be the only thing I would recommend. Highly enjoyable for solo or group riders.

This is an amazing trail system. The parts on the North Shore near the stadiums are really nice and open. I've run north past the casino and science museum once and some parts of that trail are a little isolated. Also a lot of gnats! On the other side of the river, the section from Smithfield Bridge to Hot Metal Bridge is pretty nice, but again, there are some sketchy sections where you are very isolated and it looks like some people live there by the river. On the Eliza Furnace portion between Hot Metal Bridge and 2nd Avenue, there are some portions where you are close to the highway so the noise and the fumes are not awesome but it's great that this trail exists. You can literally run miles and miles along the rivers in Pittsburgh, across bridges and through the heart of the city. The city is lucky to have such a wonderful asset and I try to run these trails whenever I'm in town.

Favorite spot.. the end.

Visiting the trail has become one of my favorite things to do in the burg. It does not matter which season either. Walking on the trail really makes my day!! Along the river yet it is so peaceful I love listening to the water hit the shoreline. I dont have a favorite entry way .. I love them all.. thanks to the amazing " Friends of the Riverfront for keeping it so great!! I love living in Pittsburgh!

I was fortunate and privileged to grow up with Frick as my backyard and walked all over the place before graduating to riding mountain bikes on the trails when the sport was in its infancy. Later, I ran high school cross-country races in Schenley and trained in Frick Park. Nowadays, we enjoy the flowers, wildlife, and groomed and maintained trails. I never appreciated how unique, rare, and amazing the parks are until I moved away and it's so great to see them treated as the unique assets they truly are.

I keep coming back and exploring different paths, only to realize there's always more to discover. It's one of those places where you can return again and again and still find something new, which makes it feel really special to me. The way the trails connect is one of my favorite things. Nine Mile Run flows into Deer Creek, which then connects into Tranquil Trail, creating an easy, continuous experience through the park. And thats just one corner of the park. While bathrooms are not abundant, you will occasionally find a porta potty, and there is often trash cans and benches toward the entrances and parking lots of the trail as well. Overall it's just a wonderful place to spend a sunny afternoon, and I really hope spaces like this continue to be preserved as an important part of Pittsburgh's identity and history.

Absolutely incredible…read more I don't go to botanical gardens much so I don't really have qualifications to compare or rate any particular place but Phipps blew me away. I like plants. I have some. I thought seeing a bunch of plants might be fun but I wasn't expecting it to be such a wonderful experience! The place is quite large considering most of it is inside. It is organized for a few different environments and a little something for everyone depending on what your floral preferences might be. It took us about an hour and a half to go through the whole thing. Got a lot of pictures. Saw a lot of interesting and cool plants as well as beautiful flowers. Highly recommend this as a stop on any and every Pittsburgh trip.

Pgh Candle & Phipps partnered for an evening at Botany Hall…read more We selected our scented oils and were able to create our own soy candles. The vessel was a lovely shade of green and had some weight. Simple instructions for those of us who were not-crafty. While our candles were solidifying, we were able to go see the Spring show. Lovely evening. Definitely would do again.
