The Hazelwood Trail in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an easy 1.9-mile one-way trail that runs along the Monongahela River. This section of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail goes through the Hazelwood Green brownfield development along the north bank of the Monongahela River and opened in 2019.
It can be accessed from the corner of Second Avenue and the Hot Metal Bridge (and from the Eliza Furnace Trail via a ramp at the opposite corner of the Hot Metal Bridge), from Tecumseh Street at Gloster Street, or by Blair Street and Second Avenue.
The northern section has a crushed-stone surface. The next section has 10 foot wide asphalt-paved trail and a sidewalk, and runs alongside a road, Blair Street. For the section from the end of Blair Street until Gloster Street, use Hazelwood Avenue's bike lanes and sidewalks. The final section has a crushed-stone surface and parallels Gloster Street.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
