The Many Habitats Trail at Boyce Mayview Park in Upper Saint Clair, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.6-mile one-way trail that features Spring-time wildflowers, a couple of different environments like woodlands and open fields, and an old abandoned Spring House.
Hike Description
This track begins near the southern terminus along the Falling Leaf Trail and heads north. The trail heads north, entering a large open field for a short distance, before heading back into the woods. The trail passes a pipeline and sections of Spring-time wildflowers before reaching the Spring House Trail, around mile 0.3.
After visiting the old Spring House remains, the trail continues north, passing through a nice section of pine trees before ending at the Queen Maple Trail.

As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
