Run/Bike/Walk Trail

You will find this paved trail a mile from the home - right over the 40th Street bridge (at the end of the bridge turn right and then right again). In a few miles it will take you to the North Shore. Nice views of the river and access to the Warhol Museum, PNC Park, Heinz Field, and the Casino. But it goes on longer than that. I think you can get to Washington, DC, actually, but I have never tried that.
