Table Top Rock Trail

The Table Top Rock Trail at Dead Man's Hollow in McKeesport, Pennsylvania is a moderate 0.6 mile out-and-back trail that connects the Cool Spirit Trail to the Dead Man's Loop Trail at the park.

This trail can be hiked one-way for 0.3 miles, but there are no trails that reconnect these areas in the park, other than an extreme-grade trail that climbs the side of the hill, which isn't recommended.

The entire trail is mostly switchbacks that run up and down the hillside. At the bottom of the hill is Dead Man's Run - the creek that cuts through Dead Man's Hollow.

Dogs and biking are both allowed on this trail. This trail can be buggy during warmer months.

Parking: Parking can be tricky due to google maps misinterpreting the parking location, so the parking marker is located at the entrance to the Dead Man's Hollow parking lot. The entrance to the parking lot can be found at the junction of Scene Ridge Rd and River Ridge Rd. To get to this trail, you'll have to hike in on the Cool Spirit Trail first.

Hunting: Hunting is allowed at Dead Man's Hollow.
