Directions to Allegheny River
Highland Park Lock & Dam #2
Meeting place is normally at the small park next to the Army Corps of Engineers Lock at the Highland Park Dam (Lock and Dam #2). Coming from Pittsburgh, this is on the east side of the river, opposite side of Route 28.
From Pittsburgh take Butler Street to the intersection with Washington Boulevard by Highland Park. Turn left at this light and continue left over railroad tracks and straight into the parking area before you get to the Lock.
From Route 28, take the exit across the Highland Park Bridge and stay in the left hand lane. After you loop around off of the bridge, you will come to the Washington Boulevard intersection. Get in the left hand lane and turn left. Then stay left across the railroad tracks into the parking area.
