South Side Riverfront Park Access

Pennsylvania

About

South Side Riverfront Park Access is a boat launch in Southside Riverfront Park, about half a mile from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Friends of the Riverfront manages the land. The launch puts paddlers and boaters onto the water right at the edge of the city, so trips can start close to town. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to get on the water. Typical averages from the nearby Braddock Lock 2 weather station show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F. The South Side Trail starts about 0.8 miles away. The Steve Faloon Trail and the Oval Trail are both within two miles, and the Seldom Seen climbing area is about 2.5 miles off.
