Best Point State Park Day Trips & Things to Do

No trip to Pittsburgh is complete without a visit to "The Point," the city's most popular park. Sitting at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, it was once the site of military forts built for protection during the French and Indian War, one of which still remains standing. With its iconic fountain that shoots water 150 feet into the air, it features miles of hike and bike trails and plays host to numerous festivals and concerts throughout the year. History, culture, recreation...this park has it all!
