The Queen Maple Trail at Boyce Mayview Park in Upper Saint Clair, Pennsylvania is a difficult 0.25-mile one-way trail that features some old growth trees and large rocks along the trail named Vision Rocks.

Hike Description
This hike begins at the western trailhead, located along the Birds Meadow Drive, and heads uphill, climbing the entire way to reach the opposite end of this trail. The trail immediately crosses a small footbridge before heading up a skinny path that heads up the hill. Along the way, hikers will pass some old growth trees which tower over the trail.

Vision Rocks
Around mile 0.15 hikers will reach the point-of-interest called Vision Rocks which is just a section of large boulders that stick out from the trail. Hikers will also find an obstructed view through the trees at Vision Rocks.

Old Growth Trees
Along this trail are at least a couple of old growth trees. One tree I photographed with my backpack at the base - I believe this is an old growth Maple, hence the trail name.

Pets
Dogs are allowed on this trail.

Parking
Hikers will find parking at the coordinates provided along Birds Meadow Drive, right off of Boyce Road in Upper St. Clair. The parking lot is large enough to fit about a dozen vehicles.

Before you leave...

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!️
