Hiking Near Pittsburgh

Where else can I see flowers in Pittsburgh?

One of the best ways to admire the wildflowers in Pittsburgh is to go on a scenic hike. (Remember to never pick the wildflowers. Stop, snap photos, and smell them, but leave them where you’ve found them.) Here are some of the best hikes near Pittsburgh:

  • Stroll along the 1.5-mile Jennings Trail, which meanders through Raccoon Creek State Park and through the Wildflower Reserve. The reserve is home to more than 700 types of wildflowers.
  • Bring your pup along on the predominately flat 2.6-mile Tranquil Trail through Frick Park. Pass lush green on this easy trail that features a few slight inclines.
  • Journey past Keystone Lake on the Lakeside Loop Trail. One of the easiest trails at Keystone State Park, the trail tallies just 2.2 miles and is ideal for spotting local wildlife, including woodpeckers and deer.
  • Trek to Allegheny County’s lone waterfall along the Fall Run Trail at Fall Run Park in Glenshaw. The 1.4-mile trail passes tiny waterfalls, chiseled rock formations, and over footbridges on the way to the tumbling cascade.
  • The 2.5-mile Double Run Loop Trail will take you through Highland Park, near the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. This easy trail features a small waterfall and a lake.
