Overview
Cedar Creek Park is a 464 acre park located near the
southwestern corner of Westmoreland County. Picnic
pavilions, athletic fields, and scenic trails make this park
a great summer and fall getaway. Running along the northern
border of the park, the Youghiogheny River provides a
spectacular view, as well as great fishing opportunities.
The area and facilities near the bend in the river, known as
Manderino Riverfront Park offers a boat launch, picnic
areas, and bicycle rentals. There is also a food concession.
Cedar Creek Gorge offers a secluded walking trail through
a ravine cut by Cedar Creek. The ground rises dramatically
on either side of the trail while you explore the length of
a gentle steam. Cedar Creek Gorge is in the northern section
of the park, near Manderino Riverfront Park and the
concession / rental facility.
