Trails
The eastern trailhead of the 35.7-mile (57.5 km) Rachel Carson Trail is just north of the park's entrance. The trail traverses the park's eastern perimeter along the edge of a bluff overlooking the Allegheny River. It crosses Rachel Carson Run, via a wooden arch bridge above Rachel Carson Falls, which meanders below the Ox Roast grove.
In early 2016 a North American beaver (Castor canadensis) took up residence in South Pound in the park, and appears to be removing non-native Russian olive trees, freeing up room for fishermen on the shore.
