Sun Burning through Fog in a Goldenrod Field

Fall Run Park

Fall Run Park is a short hiking trail featuring a 25 foot waterfall right in the heart of Glenshaw, PA. This is a very easy trail to hike but definitely worth the effort any time of year. It has been one of my favorite nature photography locations over the years due to how close I've lived to it and how much the park has to offer - despite its small size.

Located just off of Rt. 8 and only minutes north of Pittsburgh, you can find the trailhead at 187 Fall Run Rd, Glenshaw, PA 15116. The park's official website is located here: https://shaler.org/349/Fall-Run-Park-Judge-DM-Miller

Fall Run Waterfall 1193
Added 5/16/2019 - The main waterfall at Fall Run Park with the flowing stream beneath it. This is a great place for a short and easy hike for anyone who lives in the Pittsburgh area. The waterfall itself is along the main trail, and there is a set of stairs that takes you to the top of it.

Fall Run Park Waterfall 1142-1167
This photograph of the largest waterfall at Fall Run Park was taken on a rainy afternoon. In order to obtain the field of view that I wanted, I took a series of shots with a 55mm lens and stitched them together afterward.
