Allegheny County Rivers
LOWER MONONGAHELA LOOP - (17) Mouth of Youghiogheny River in McKeesport

 

Directions:  From PA 837 heading south away from Pittsburgh, continue past Kennywood Park and to the town of Duquesne. Turn left onto the McKeesport/Duquesne Bridge, cross the bridge and turn right onto the Yellow Belt. Stay on the Yellow Belt through McKeesport which takes you across a bridge over the Youghiogheny River. Just after the bridge turn right onto Rebecca Street and then right onto Atlantic Street. This takes you to the McKeesport Landing, a boat launch. Stop and look from the boat launch (Youghiogheny River), then follow the road left further into a parking lot. At the right hand corner of this lot, park and you can walk down a muddy trail to the riverbank. There is more walkable shoreline when the water level is lower. You get a view of the mouth of the Youghiogheny River.
