Pittsburgh, PA · 140 units within 8 hours

National Park System units within a drive of Pittsburgh

Six National Park System units sit within an estimated two hours of Pittsburgh, 19 between two and four hours, and 115 between four and eight. The closest is Fort Necessity National Battlefield, about 1.1 hours by road from the metro's Census centroid. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the nearest unit carrying the National Park designation within four hours. The metro is the Pittsburgh area as the Census Bureau defines it, home to 2,429,917 people in the 2024 estimates.

Each drive time is an estimate made from the straight-line distance between the metro's Census centroid and the unit's listed coordinates, multiplied by 1.25 for roads and divided by 55 mph, so a real trip will often take longer.
