Pat McGee Trail (Salamanca trailhead) is a flat, rail-trail through mixed hardwoods and alongside the Allegheny River — great for wide forest corridors, river reflections, and vivid fall color. Easy parking at the trailhead (4037 Center St Ext). Trail is crushed stone and largely accessible; open year-round. Best light: golden hour and early morning fog; fall (late Sept–Oct) is peak color. Weekday mornings reduce cyclists and walkers.
