Expanding the Three Rivers Heritage Trail Network throughout the Pittsburgh region is a top priority for Friends of the Riverfront and our partners. Our vision includes having trail connectivity on all sides of all three rivers within Allegheny County, including connections into communities. The Trail now encompasses over 33+ miles along both banks of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers and continues to grow.
