So why should we care about Allegheny State Park? Well, it holds the supports for the PA Turnpike and the Bessemer Railroad Bridge. (See first picture from the Turnpike bridge and a second picture showing supports from the ground level).
Also, if you like exploring really undeveloped land, this is your place. Flooding frequently and having no marked trails, it's a true wilderness experience.
Since access is only by watercrafts, it's good to know there's a public boat launch at Deer Creek Park. However, there is no boat rental at the park.

It's a very nice spot to go visit and you boat down near the river easily.
A lot of walking and stairs. I did see some elevators. Little buses to take you around. BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Go to restaurant early because it closes early. Good food and friendly staff. Lots of parking right on the island!
Love kayaking in this area. Very quiet and pretty. Easy to access and take photos of Bridges and water fowl.
Beautiful scenery and clean! Great place to explore, as long as you have a kayak or boat to get to them.
