History

Archaeologists from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History helped identify the 1780s log house that gave the park its name. The themes of the eleven picnic groves in this park are derived from the names of Indigenous peoples of the Americas: Algonquin, Seneca, Apache, Tomahawk, etc.

Geography and notable features

This American park is situated 10 miles (16 km) west of downtown Pittsburgh in Collier, North Fayette, and Robinson Townships.

Settlers Cabin has the most heavily used of the county's three wave pools. The location along the major route to the airport makes it accessible, and swimmers from Ohio and West Virginia can easily reach the site. A diving is also available.[1]
