Descent

This short trail leads to the Allegheny River from Sharpsburg Islands Marina. Parking is free and readily available at the marina too.

The trail leads up some stairs to what looks like an old train yard and then back down to the river; however you can skip the stairs for a 0.3 out-and-back trip. This is a nice short trail for fishing along the Allegheny near Highland Park, Etna, Fox Chapel, and of course Sharpsburg.
