👍👍 Awesome night at campsite 3. Room for one hammock, plenty of room for tents. Had a hard time finding a tree that had limbs low enough for my bear bag, but managed to find one that worked. Quiet and peaceful, water source very close, fairly easy 2 mile hike in. Update- I've stayed at a few of the oth...

Dead Man's Hollow Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍 The good: Lots of trails. We parked at Boston Ball Field, walked the GAP trail to the hollow and walked pretty much every main trail there. My Garmin watch logged ~10 miles. Didn't see a single other person until we were walking out. Very secluded. The bad: Trails aren't well marked and there are a...

Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve

👍👍 This place is AMAZING! I stopped here with my mother and two sons (ages 8 and 10) and they were all enthralled! We are a nature loving family but this place far exceeded all expectations and we didn’t probably get to see 1/2 of it! We spent most of our time at the children’s play and explore area. M...

Montour Woods Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 Beautiful fall hike on Meeks Run trail. Roughly 2 miles from start to finish. Easy hike, not many hills at all. To minimize exposure to mud, a wooden walkway was built with nonslip mesh. I was thankful for this as there were a few muddy spots so without the walkway it would have been a lot less enjo...

Buttermilk Falls Natural Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 A beautiful secluded spot, probably popular with local kids, but deserted when I visited. There is limited parking right at the beginning of the trail, and it's only a short walk (quarter mile) to a variety of rapids and the falls themselves. Very pretty, other than the graffiti. Be careful around t...

Buttermilk Falls
Nature preserve
👍👍 It was beautiful but there is very little parking (about 10 spots) on site. You park at the boat ramp down the road and walk on a .8 mile trail that is well maintained and has a lot of shade and benches. It is well worth the walk though, because once you get to the falls they are breathtaking. You c...

Wingfield Pines

👍 A very pleasant walk around the ponds and wetlands. Went late in summer but it wasn't too buggy. This is a remediation site for cleaning AMD run off before heading into Chartiers Creek. Used to allow dogs, but now there is a big no dog sign (losing a star Allegheny Land Trust, as this is not cool)....
