The Woodland Trail at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, Pittsburgh, PA, is a moderate 1.3 mile out-and-back hike that runs along the northern section of the park.

The trail is 0.6 miles one-way and you can hike back on it or hike down the Spring Hollow trail to get back; however, it'll be anywhere from 1 - 1.3 miles total.

Near the western section of the trail is a short vista trail that leads to the power-lines that run through the park. Not the best views, but it's a nice change from the trail.

There's also a small waterfall at the intersection of the Spring Hollow trail on the north eastern portion of this trail.

No dogs or biking.

This trail is a bit challenging especially on a hot muggy summer day. Trail is more rugged narrow and steeper but nice photo ops of the fallen trees.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). 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.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
