But I go here to watch the amazing birds. I see Eagles, Wood Duck, Great Blue Heron, Gulls, Kingfisher, and a whole lot more. Migrating waterfowl stop here frequently to relax and grab something to eat. It's a great place to fish, too. It's a little tricky to find, so follow your GPS or the helpful signs. It's unique and well worth the trip.

I was in the area this morning for a doctors appt., and saw this old cabin sitting in the woods in…read morethe valley. I walked over to it from the medical building next door. I found a cabin with a grave stone in the front yard, and a hiking trail through the woods. The trail was nice, and I walked for a little ways, but didn't have enough time to follow it all the way (Also, it is deer hunting season, and although there is a mailbox that says orange vests are available to wear, it was empty). I would like to come back again some time, and see the whole trail. There weren't really any signs that explained the history of the cabin, nor a trail map, which I would have liked, but otherwise, it's a nice little place to get out into some nature . . . Cheers!

Great value and an excellent way to explore downtown. Our family of four, including two teenage…read moregirls and their parents, took the tour at sunset to enjoy the cooler evening weather.

The guide was assertively courteous, which is precisely what you want from someone responsible for the safety of the participants.

First of all . . . the cover photo of this page is the wrong bridge . . . that is a photo of the…read moreI-79 bridge over Neville Island. The Sewickley Bridge is further downstream and the other photos that have been posted are correct. The Sewickley Bridge is hit-or-miss . . . it's either gonna be all backed up with traffic . . . or it is gonna be empty. Most of the time, it's loaded with cars, otherwise, it serves its purpose, which is crossing the river from one side to the other . . . Cheers!

I call this the "detour" bridge. The I 79 bridge over Neville Island is currently under…read moreconstruction and there are times when that bridge is closed completely. I happened to hit it at one of those times. What would normally be a 1 minute crossing turned out to be a 45 minute detour! The Sewickley bridge connects the road to the Sewickley business district on one side and Coraopolis on the other. As others have said it can be hit or miss with this bridge because of the traffic lights at each end and the turning lanes onto it. It crosses the Ohio River and makes it a bit easier to get to Moon Twp and to the Sewickley business district from there. Other than that please be aware of the fact that this is the Penn dot chosen detour for the I 79 bridge.

I used the Red Blazed trail and it was fairly decent, nicely cleaned (except spider webs, which I find very annoying) and it was just barely over a mile.

My favorite thing was the 3D painting machine - you need to pay to use it though. They sell some pre-made models though. They have monthly specials - for Feb they had displays of books celebrating the Black History Month. They lack an extensive collection of books in certain non-fiction genre. But, if you are looking for a place to borrow fiction novels and children's books, this is a good one.

There is a free parking lot in the back with about 10-15 spots. Also a curb side book drop. Beware though, as of July 2023, the library is under construction for renovations and there is NO air conditioning. So it's hot inside! Some days they even close early if it's too hot so you may want to call ahead to check. Excited to see what it looks like after renovations because it is an old building.

Ride at your own risk in terms of being flexible. On a positive point, the guys doing the narrative/guides were great! You pay extra for "hop and stop" the pick ups need to be a little more accurate. Don't tell us to be there 5 min early when you need to 25 min early and be willing to wait 25 min after scheduled pick ups.

That Pittsburgh is famous for its two inclined planes on Mount Washington (one being the Duquesne Incline) but at one point, there were as many as 15 inclines in the city? AND that they were built for the steel workers that lived on TOP of those inclines so the workers could make it to the factory (making a few bucks off them too)? Find out WHY the steelworkers lived on TOP of the incline! You can also take a deep dive into the lives of your steelworker ancestors -NOW- at the Heinz History Center. Did you know that 'The Silence Of The Lambs' was shot in Pittsburg? -Eww. Just eww- Do you think I just gave all the information away? I haven't even scratched the surface of what this tour offers you! I had NO IDEA Pittsburgh was SO INTERESTING! The company was unusually considerate and WAITED for us when we got stuck in traffic on our way there. Not long, but WHO DOES THIS? Our guide was so funny (family friendly humor), personable, entertaining, interesting and seemed like he sincerely enjoyed his job. We learned so much and got a wonderful tour of the city! We left feeling a newfound respect and appreciation for Pittsburgh after taking it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
