Settlers Cabin Park, County park in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Settlers Cabin Park is a county park in Allegheny County featuring rolling wooded slopes and meadows spread across three townships. The grounds include tennis courts, basketball courts, a wave pool, hiking trails, and areas for dogs.
Archaeologists from Carnegie Mellon University found an original log cabin dating to 1780 on the grounds, which inspired the park's name. This discovery connected the modern park to the area's early settlement period.
The park features eleven recreation areas named after Native American terms and figures such as Algonquian, Seneca, and Apache. These named groves shape how visitors move through and remember different parts of the grounds.
The park is open from sunrise to sunset and is laid out across multiple distinct recreation areas that help with navigation. Trail conditions vary with the seasons, so sturdy footwear is a good idea if you plan to hike.
The Red Trail is a lengthy hiking route that passes through White Pine forests and upland bogs, leading walkers to a waterfall on Pinkertons Run stream. This path gives hikers a different way to see the park's natural features.
