February 18, 2024, Hay Woods

Hays Woods sprawls over 660 acres of pristine woodland, valleys, and creeks at the southeast edge of Pittsburgh, adjacent to Hazelwood across the Monongahela River. It represents the largest new urban park initiative undertaken east of the Mississippi River in 75 years. Historically utilized for industrial purposes like coal mining, Hays Woods owes its preservation to community advocacy and public backing. Despite its ecological challenges, visitors marvel at its natural beauty, including stunning vistas of downtown and Hazelwood, a nesting ground for bald eagles for over 30 years, and countless hidden treasures. However, be mindful that during the summer months, the trails may become slightly overgrown deeper into the woods.
