The Braddock and Tranquil Trail Loop offers a delightful escape into the green heart of Frick Park, guiding you through lush woodlands and alongside the restored Nine Mile Run stream. You'll experience varied terrain, from gentle singletrack with a "rollercoaster feel" on the Braddock Trail to the peaceful fire road sections of the Tranquil Trail, all while enjoying the diverse flora and fauna of this urban oasis.
This easy 4.0-mile (6.4 km) hiking route, with a modest 310 feet (94 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete. It's an excellent choice for a leisurely outing, suitable for families and beginners, though some sections can become muddy after rain. The trails are dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your leashed canine companion.
Frick Park, Pittsburgh's largest municipal park, provides a significant urban sanctuary, showcasing a successful ecological restoration project with the Nine Mile Run. Beyond the trail, the park offers amenities like the Frick Environmental Center and playgrounds, making it a versatile destination for a day out in nature.
