Allegheny Islands State Park

Accessible only by boat, the 50-acre Allegheny Islands State Park consists of two alluvial islands and seven shoals in the Allegheny River.

The 14-acre upper island (eastern) is opposite the mouth of Black Run and east of C.W. Bill Young Lock and Dam #3.

The 34-acre lower island (western) is west of the lock between the mouths of Falling Springs Run and Black Run.

There are no developed trails, however, several footpaths exist.
