Located just down the street from Allegheny General Hospital on the North Side of Pittsburgh, this lake is a beautiful getaway for anyone who is drawn to peaceful feeling of water. Well maintained concrete paths allow you to walk around the lakes perimeter and 2 bridges give you a breathtaking view of what it and the city of Pittsburgh have to offer. Park benches are located along the paths so you can take a break and people/bird/squirrel watch. VERY relaxing! The only thing I think that could improve the experience is if the lake was stocked and fishing was allowed. If you're ever in the area, take some time to visit. ~Peace

About Lake Elizabeth
Nestled in the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, just a short stroll from Allegheny General Hospital, lies the serene Lake Elizabeth. While relatively small, this picturesque lake serves as a tranquil oasis amidst the urban hustle and bustle. Its well-maintained concrete paths allow visitors to wander leisurely around the perimeter, while two charming bridges offer sweeping views of both the lake and the surrounding cityscape. Park benches dot these paths, inviting you to pause, relax, and indulge in a bit of people, bird, or even squirrel-watching—a perfect antidote to the pace of city life. Lake Elizabeth has a charm reminiscent of Central Park in New York, offering locals and visitors alike a moment of respite and a taste of nature's tranquility in the heart of the city. Events like the Water Lantern Festival transform the area into a magical venue, best experienced with family and friends. While the lake doesn't currently offer fishing, frequent cleaning ensures a clean and inviting environment. Whether you're in the area for a casual stroll, a sit-down on a sunny afternoon, or attending a lively event, Lake Elizabeth presents the perfect blend of peacefulness and city energy. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a slice of nature when navigating the vibrant streets of Pittsburgh.
