The Three Rivers of Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is famously situated at the confluence of three rivers:

• Allegheny River – flows north from northwestern Pennsylvania.
• Monongahela River – flows south from West Virginia.
• Ohio River – formed by the merger of the Allegheny and Monongahela at Point State Park, then flows west.

All three meet at Point State Park, creating the city's iconic "Three Rivers" identity.
