Three Rivers Heritage Trail & Three Rivers Regatta
Over 20 miles of trails follow along the banks of Pittsburgh’s three rivers, the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio. We parked near the John Heinz History Center and walked/rolled west for about a mile, then crossed over the Allegheny on the Duquesne Bridge to the north shore. From there we went east and crossed the river again at the Andy Warhol Bridge to complete the loop back to our RV.
The trail is in good shape except for a few rough spots. Long ADA compliant ramps allow bridge access but not all of the bridges have ramps so plan your route with that in mind.
We visited the weekend of the 41st Three Rivers Regatta which features boat races, bands, a kid’s zone, food booths, and fireworks. Despite living it Pittsburgh for years this was our first time to attend the regatta which we found smaller than we expected. It was very easy to get around and to get a good viewing area because there weren’t any crowds. We missed the speed races but we did catch the Anything That Floats race, checked out the sand sculpture, and attempted to find non-artery clogging food. :-D The best choice were Greek spinach pockets - yum.
We parked near the history center on three separate days. It’s best to visit downtown Pittsburgh on the weekends when the lots are almost empty however we found the situation different on each day. The first day we parked in the history center lot – $5.00. Signs stated no buses, trucks, or trailers. The second day we were directed to a lease only lot behind the history center lot. The third day the history center had “ no RVs” added to the prohibited sign so we parked in the PPG lot at 1301 Smallman St. – $10.00 if we could fit in one space. Trail Regatta 40.44703, -79.99524
