Outdoor Recreation
Trails
After the decline of the steel-making in southwestern Pennsylvania, Rivers of Steel worked to restore, protect, and enhance the land and water resources of the region. Building trails along riverfronts and old railroad corridors and constructing river landings has allowed the Heritage Area to capitalize on the wealth of natural resources this region offers to residents and visitors.
