  • From the shore you can see them, but very few people have been on the islands that dot the Allegheny River within a few miles of Pittsburgh. This 2010 WQED Special explores the islands and takes viewers ashore to not only show the conservation efforts - but to see what’s actually there: from wildlife and native plants to human inhabitants and artifacts left behind. #EarthMonth

    I live in Pittsburgh and I didn't know about these! Now I need to get my hands on a boat...

    I live here. These videos are outstanding. If you're a metal detecting fan this river is loaded with treasure finds.

    I'm familiar with the ones further up north near where I live. The one, full of walnut trees, had a nutting stone used by American Indians on the southern end. I also found beer bottles eroding out of the bank. I found 3 and they were made in 1915, I think. There are many pipes and things related to the oil boom, too.
