Easy River Access

We all know part of Pittsburgh's fame (and charm!) is its 3 rivers. The North Hills takes full advantage of this. With 10 boat launches along the Allegheny, there is convenient access no matter where you're located among the north. From Emsworth all the way to Springdale, if you have a boat, you can launch into the Allegheny River. If the river isn't your style, you can always head over to beautiful North Park Lake. (I will do an entire post on North Park - most likely there will be multiple posts because it has so much to offer) The best part? You're only a short ride from downtown! You can actually see downtown from the Milvale launch. It's perfect for those summer days (which are officially here!) and even better come July 4th when Zambelli puts on their annual fireworks display downtown. Not to mention the availability of docking and jumping off for a quick bite to eat along the North Shore and South Side. If boating is a hobby of yours, (or jet skiing or anything similar) the North Hills is a great place to be. The opportunities are numerous, and the views are spectacular!
