#HIDDEN WATER PARK IN PITTSBURGH HOW TO#

We read that there is a trail you can also take from the YMCA and several others. The Big Spring was filled with mystery and we captured plenty of beauty in this area. One we parked, we truly didn’t know what to expect. Bring a lot of water and snacks too since it took us about an hour both ways to walk back to the parking area.

We also advise wearing boots and proper hiking gear due to the trails, nature, and mud. Just a warning, make sure to screenshot all your maps and directions before getting to these areas because we didn’t have cell phone service almost the entire time being in this area. We didn’t know if this place would be busy due to us going on Memorial Day Weekend but we couldn’t wait to see! It took us only about an hour and half to get there from Pittsburgh and we left early in the morning. Our journey took us to three stops this day, first being a hidden treasure called Big Spring, located in Forbes State Forest. Even though it was about a 5.5 mile hike round trip and it was extremely muddy, snakes on trails, and hard to navigate, it was one of our favorite trips together. It was also to find one of the most beautiful places we have gone together. It feels good to be lost in the right direction.

For this reason we have updated this post and removed directions on how to get there since it is on private property. **UPDATE** It has come to our attention that someone vandalized the rocks at Big Spring.
