About Boston

Tucked along the Youghiogheny River in Elizabeth Township, Boston is a quiet riverside community that has evolved from an old coal-and-rail hub into a favorite spot for outdoor lovers. The former railway lines now host a popular stretch of the Great Allegheny Passage trail, drawing cyclists, runners, and weekend walkers. With easy kayak and boat access at Boston Park, local trailside stops, and scenic river views, it offers a relaxed, small-town atmosphere just a short drive from Pittsburgh.
