Washington's Landing, a 42-acre island in the Allegheny River, is now home to a thriving mixed-use community after a successful brownfield reclamation. The Washington's Landing Trail forms almost a complete loop around island, which was once known as Herr's Island.
In addition to offering picturesque views of the river and downtown Pittsburgh, the crushed-stone pathway provides access to the island's North Park, Washington's Landing Marina and several businesses. On the southern tip of the island, you can cross the river on a pedestrian bridge to reach the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, a popular route along the city's waterfront.
Parking is available off Waterfront Drive (under the 31st Street bridge) in the center of Washington's Landing island.
My friend and I designed our bike ride for today to go to Washington’s Landing as our destination. Once you get over there, the bike trail is very rocky, which makes it difficult to ride. It’s narrow as well. We ended up ditching the trail and riding around the area on the sidewalks and roads since there was hardly any car traffic. Been there, done that - it’s an area we won’t go back to.
