Pine Hollow Trail

The Pine Hollow Trail at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, Pittsburgh, PA, is a moderate 1 mile loop hike through the park.

This trail can be found on the south western side of the park and connects in two places along the Meadowview Trail. This is essentially a loop trail since the beginning and ends are so close to each other.

About half way through the trail is a really nice waterfall, about 10 feet high - you can't miss it if you listen for it. The waterfall makes this probably the best hiking trail at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve.

Found this trail a bit steep in one area and deepish tree density most of the way. Very quiet. The waterfall was all but dry this afternoon. Very steep sidded downstream from the falls. Maybe best in the Spring or after a rainstorm. Easier access to the waterfall is from the dead-end road, Chapel Crest Terrace.
