South Park is 2,013 acres located just outside Pittsburgh in Bethel Township. I believe this is the Maple Spring Loop, which is 1.75 miles long. Along the way we see the Workout Trail, a wedding, and some woods. You can access trail maps at http://www.alleghenycounty.us/parks/maps/spwalk.pdf. I would recommend a pedometer for this walk because the trail is paved, not blazed and it is easy to loose track of how far you've traveled.
There are several marked trails to try including:
Bison Ridge Trail - 6 miles
Fairgrounds Trail - 1.4 miles
Corrigan Walkway - 2 miles
I strongly recommend taking a map with you until you learn the park. Also, when driving in the park don't forget to watch out for runners. When I was leaving I almost hit a runner who zipped around a turning car. They're use to having the right-away (which they should) and they are not watching for you; you have to be vigilant watching for them.
