"Tough climb but well worth the AMAZING Views!"
"A fine place to hike if you’re in the area. The lower trail is a short length (about a mile total) and a pretty easy grade - other than a bit of a climb up from the parking area. You make a loop back on a gravel road right next to the train tracks, which gives you a good view of the river. Didn’t explore the upper trails as they are only accessible from a different parking area. The trail was a bit challenging to stay on, even in winter and with a fair amount of markers, mainly because of the many downed trees crossing the path and lots of erosion. I can see how it would be quite difficult to follow in summer, when the vines and undergrowth take over. Still, a nice walk along the river, at the base of some interesting rock cliffs, and past ruins of old brick buildings. Nothing particularly special or unique but not bad either."
"Did a 3.5 mile hike, took 2 hours. Pretty wild flowers everywhere and found some mushrooms. There are some super steep rocky slopes on the trail but worth the views."
"Barking Slopes is a wonderful place to enjoy a walk between the Allegheny River and your typical steep Pittsburgh slope. The parking lot is properly marked on Google and right next to a railroad. There is one small path that is clear going West. Going East and straight up from the parking lot there seems to be more paths on the hill. I loved hearing and seeing many birds and also a few squirrels. This place is a gem and will continue to be so thanks to the Allegheny Land Trust. I would recommend it to anyone."
"The area is tucked away off the beaten path. The trails are rugged but not impossible. My eight and four year old handled them just fine. The lower trails show the steep sides of the “slopes.” There are remains of brick buildings along the lower trail that conjure images of what may have been in a bygone time. This is a great area to get a taste of being away in a wilderness area without ever leaving site of civilization."
