I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and somehow had never visited Fall Run Park in Shaler Township. 🌿
If you’re looking for a fun family activity near Pittsburgh, add this hidden gem to your list! The shaded nature trail follows a stream and ends at a waterfall. Bring your water shoes because we were hardly on the tail—we spent most of our time wading through the ankle-deep water, turning over rocks, and searching for tiny fish and salamanders.
The park also has a small playground, picnic tables, and plenty of shade, making it a great spot to hang out on a hot summer afternoon.
