Allegheny County Rivers
LOWER OHIO RIVER LOOP - (8) 1st Avenue in Coraopolis

 

Directions:  Turn around and cross back over the railroad tracks next to the bridge and turn left at the light. Very shortly turn right onto PA 51 North, which takes you through downtown McKees Rocks, stay in the right hand lane. At the second traffic light turn right onto Island Avenue to continue on PA 51 North. Go straight through the traffic light at the McKees Rocks Bridge and through Stowe Township to a 4-way intersection. The Fleming Park Bridge to Neville Island is on your right. (Just before this bridge there is a parking lot, park here and walk onto the bridge to view this section of the river.) Go straight through the intersection to continue on PA 51 to Coraopolis. In downtown Coraopolis Broadway Street intersects with PA 51 which is called 4th Avenue here, turn right on Broadway and straight to the 1st Avenue intersection. Park near this intersection and walk into the small riverfront park from which you get a partially obstructed view of upper Neville Island and downriver.
