Emsworth, PA

united states

Emsworth is a small riverside borough about 12 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, accessible via scenic Route 65 along the Ohio River. The drive from downtown Pittsburgh takes about 20 minutes, while Pittsburgh International Airport is roughly 45 minutes away via I-376 and I-79. The town sits between the river and steep hillsides, creating a unique setting. Emsworth's working Lock and Dam 6 still operates today, letting visitors watch barges navigate the controlled waterway.
