Beechview Seldom Seen Greenway

Discover the hidden gem of Pittsburgh, the Beechview Seldom Seen Greenway! This secluded park offers a surprising escape into nature right within the city limits. Hikers can enjoy scenic trails like the Seldom Seen Greenway Loop, a short and sweet 0.5-mile trek featuring the historic Seldom Seen Arch and a charming waterfall. Be prepared for a potentially steep uphill climb near the railroad tracks, and remember to watch your step for broken glass along the way. While the Loop offers an easily accessible experience, remember to always stay off the active railroad tracks for your safety.

For a slightly more challenging hike, explore the 1.1-mile out-and-back Seldom Seen Greenway Pipeline Trail. This unmarked trail, located next to Tropical Park, offers a seasonal view of downtown Pittsburgh, but includes a steep and potentially slippery section. Be aware of overgrowth and broken glass, and please respect all private property boundaries. While this trail leads towards active train tracks, it's crucial to remember that walking on them is federally illegal and extremely dangerous. We highly recommend exploring the safer and equally rewarding Seldom Seen Greenway Loop for a more enjoyable and secure hiking experience within the park.
