Point State Park
About
Point State Park is a 38-acre state park in Pennsylvania, managed by the state park agency and located about 1.8 miles from Pittsburgh. It is a compact urban park rather than a backcountry destination, and it makes an easy starting point for exploring the trails and climbing areas scattered around the city. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F with lows near 50°F, and September highs around 78°F with lows near 55°F. Several short trips sit close by. George and Guy Trail is just 0.6 miles away, Turkey Run Trail and Emerald View Trail are each about 1.1 miles off, and the Seldom Seen climbing area is roughly 1.2 miles away.
