Saint Vincent College

Reviewed By fjmccarl - San Antonio, United States

This is a beautiful campus with a rich history of religion and the region. The College is amazing with notable graduates from its traditional arts and sciences background. The Benedictines have let their mark literally, since they built much of the college by hand. In a tranquil setting to appreciate God's beauty.

Twin Lakes Park

Reviewed By georgew419 - Upper Saint Clair, United States

This is a great park, I wish we lived closer. Two lakes with walking trails around each (0.9 miles and 1.5 miles). Very clean! Paths are bricked with a few different types of brick. Running on these may be a bit tough due to the uneveness. You would have to pay attention to your footing.

This is located in James Rogers park a tiny green area with a few park benches in downtown Latrobe on the corner of Main and Jefferson. On one of the park benches is a life size statue of Mister Fred Rogers. Have a seat next to Mister Rogers and remember "you are special."

Other activites are biking the Great Allegheny Passage, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, picnicking, horsebacking riding, rock climbing, and hiking.

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!
