I'm gonna ride the trail in July, I know where to park in Mckeesport long term but now I'd like to start in Pittsburgh and ride the entire trail.
Does anyone have any insight on where to park for up to two weeks. Of course free would be the best but anything secure would be great.

There is a parking area On Swinburn St. off of Second Ave, that connects with the Eliza Furnace Trail. It is in the Oakland section of Pgh. This location may take some investigation on your part, but is the only free parking that I know of in Pgh.

OK, thank you very much for the input.
I may have to go to what I know, (Mckeesport) and take a little side trip up to the point to see what I'm missing.

I did a Pitt-DC thru ride earlier this summer and parked for 10 days at the Pumphouse Museum located in Homestead (Pittsburgh). I had to pay for a $25 membership in the museum but I didn't have to worry about my car being towed and no one broke into it (their number is 412-782-0171)

But the Pump house is 10 miles from the POINT.

mqharris, thanks, I checked it out. www.riversofsteel.com has the info on it I need.
This looks promising.

Twisteroo - what did you decide to do about parking?

I was able to park at Station Square for a week at $5/day. This was not posted, but I talked with the people in the parking garage office to get this rate and paid in advance.

Looks like the Station Square parking for $5 a day is no longer available. I just called them and for long term (I need 10 days) they could only give me a monthly lease or a daily rate of $18. Anyone else have any experience to share?
