Peaceful park with lots of hiking trails (moderate). Includes the start of the 46 mile Rachel Carson trail.
Great park with lots of trails, picnic areas, pavilions, and a playground. There is also a scenic overlook of the Allegheny River
The recent sunshine made today's clouds and bit of rain perfect. The green was out. Cool temperatures, and only soggy in a few spots.
This was our first time being in Harrison Hills Park, we were impressed with the overlook of the Allegheny River, getting to walk to the Eastern Terminus of the Rachel Carson trail, the amenities included indoor toilets, and the ginormous playground. Great for families of all ages. The picnic areas were well marked, and ample parking was available.
Lots to do here. There are several short blazed trails that all seem moderate in difficulty. The overlook area has a nice paved walking path and several wooded trails start here. There are many parking areas and it's a little confusing if you don't know where you're going. Go to the overlook area if you're not sure what to do.
