Harrison Hills Park

Beautiful park with gorgeous trails. I did the Scouts Trail (Red) which is basically the outer trail, long about 5.2 miles. I hiked it counterclockwise and it wasn't challenging expected when you get to the view of the river when there is a very steep part, but fortunately it's quite short.
The trail has interesting points such as the old landfill that's been taken over by nature but you can still see metal and glass bottles all over and the views are gorgeous! Fall and Winter would definitely be the best times to appreciate the views. The last mile or so of the hike, past the communication tower is not great. It's colonized by honeysuckles and you walk past an area where hundreds of green waste bags have been dumped, not great, but the rest of the hike has become one of my favorites.
The trail is freshly marked so it was easy to find except when you get to the soccer fields and to the communication tower.
At the soccer fields you want to walk towards the pavilion, you'll see a swallows tower nearby, walk towards it and look to the left; you should see a post with a red blaze.
At the communication tower instead, keep walking straight from the trail along the fence towards the opposite side of the tower (the entrance), you'll see a gravel road and an electric pole a bit down the road with 2 red blazes, turn left into the vegetation exactly at the blazes, it's easy to miss.
I was able to find the way by using the All Trails app otherwise I might have been a bit lost in those 2 occasions.
There are multiple parking areas with amenities along the trail.
We encountered a couple of people closer to the parking lots on Friday morning.
It took me and my dog 2 hours on the clock with a few stops for pics and a sustained pace overall.
Hike highly recommended

Great park with lots of scenic trails and playgrounds for kids!

We just visited the playground, it's up on the hill where I believe you can see 360 degrees all around . Kids had fun! I exercise on one of the outdoor ellipticals. Seems like a pretty nice park decent size! Will definitely be back.

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

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.

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.

Great park that has been updated over the years. That have spent a lot of time and effort to update almost all of the playground equipment through the entire park. They have also updated some of the pavilions as well. The crew always does a good job maintaining the trails. They are always well marked so they are easy to follow. Typically the trails are clear of fallen trees or storm debris. It is a great place to take the family.

Love taking my son to the large playground, soccer fields and hiking paths. If we're uncomfortable with the number of other's at the playground, there are various other smaller playgrounds throughout the park that we can play safely distanced.

Beautiful park, well maintained, road in is a little bumpy but the views are beautiful and the park has a lot for everyone to do!

Just a great place to hike. The red trail is about 6.7 miles now and amazing. I tend to start at Chipmunk Drive on the green trail "wetlands trail". Keep an eye out for snakes they like to hang out on the trails. Have not seen copperheads. Lots of harmless ringnecks, garters and ratsnakes though. There are some areas that get a little rough but most of the trail is easy. Some of the hills have a steep grade and after 6 miles you can get fatigued. Be safe out there.

Just a walk in the park! Harrison Hills park has some of the best hiking trails around! Cool stops along the paths, that are pretty clear, and lots of nature to take in!

Nice park with a variety of hiking spots and some pavilions and a playground. Pretty stream with a bridge at the far point of the park. Beautiful forest and mature trees. Pit toilets aren't the best. Plenty of parking and free admittance. No drones or remote controlled aircraft allowed. Dog friendly.

Always loved this park. Well kept, clean and tons of walking trails. Even a small pond with a blind so you can sit and watch the birds.

Great place to take a hike or bike ride pet friendly beautiful views and lots to look at.

Trails are all throughout. Over look Allegheny River. Well cared for and maintained. Beautiful woodland park.

Hidden treasure full of wildlife! Great trails that are well blazed! Ponds, waterfalls, Great Horned Owls and Foxes! Hoping no one believes this...I love having this place to myself!

We drove through the park today looking for the perfect place for my daughters senior pictures. We found it! This park is beautiful!

Love taking pictures. They have installed new playground items for the kids and parents! Making things better!

Best park in the area
