Frick Park - Nine Mile Run Trail

Daniel Klein

Pittsburgh has a ton of really nice hiking trails. The terrain is very variable, so is the scenery, some of it is unspoiled, and some of it is in a semi-city environment. The 9-mile run trail goes from duck hollow all the way to the Frick fine arts museum, and it's a nice multi-mile hike that is not too hard.

Watch out for the bridges! The wood gets wet and has a sort of slime on it that is super slippery. I have fallen as well as several of my friends. The parks department doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. The park has loads of trails off of this main path, just make sure to keep your eyes peeled for mountain bikers. They also use the trails here.

It wasn't frick park, it was the river under the homestead Grey's bridge. But, the river was calm for fishing, and it seemed secluded even tho it wasn't. Nice place to relax on a Sunday with some rods in the water!

Nicely maintained park and trails in the city. Trails are not marked with blazes, but the main ones are packed gravel, and intersections are all clearly marked with signs. The main trails are laced with unlabeled dirt trails for more strenuous hiking and mountain biking. Most of the trails are less than a mile long, but you can easily string together several to make a longer hike. Parking at trailheads is limited, but there are bigger parking areas at the Squirrel Hill and Regent Square entrances.
