The Tranquil Trail at Frick Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an easy 2.6 mile out-and-back trail that leads from the northern section of Frick park (near Reynolds St and S Homewood Ave) down to the southern end of Frick park (near I-376).

The trail is mostly flat with an incline near the northern section. This is definitely one of the best hiking trails within Pittsburgh and Frick Park, but is often heavily-trafficked including an abundance of dog walkers. If you're looking for seclusion, this trail is not for you.
