Pittsburgh Airport Corridor residents enjoy the best of both worlds for cultural, entertainment and recreational opportunities.

We�re far enough from the city to enjoy quiet, suburban living, yet close enough to Downtown Pittsburgh and the Oakland cultural district to partake of concerts, live theater, art exhibitions, natural history and science museums, just to name a few.

• Boating
  Pittsburgh�s three rivers: the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio, and our proximity to lakes and streams make this region ideal for boaters.

  Free boating information is available from:
  Pennsylvania Fish Commission
  Box 1673, Harrisburg, PA 17105

  U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
  Federal Building
  1000 Liberty Avenue

• Cycling & Hiking
  Our region is home to Pennsylvania�s newest hiking and biking pathway, the Montour Trail. The trail begins at Coraopolis and winds 11.5 miles through Robinson, Moon, North Fayette and Findlay townships. Its wide, flat, crushed limestone base affords easy accessibility, and its gentle grades make it suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions.
