Directions:  From PA 28 North take the Tarentum exit towards PA 366 East, just as you are getting on the bridge, exit onto 1st Avenue and follow to the bottom and turn right into the boat access area. (N 40.5991, W 79.7564)There is a good view from the parking lot. Exit the parking lot and turn right onto 1st Avenue, Memorial Park will be on your right shortly. There is a view of the river for almost the entire length of this park, though none of these views is fantastic. Continue upriver along 1st Avenue for about 2 miles and turn right onto Veterans Avenue, follow to the USACE property next to the Lock and Dam. There are a few parking spots and the view of the dam area is very good.
