Lincoln is one of the most peaceful neighborhoods in Allegheny County.
The banks of the Monongahela
With its tall trees, old farmhouses and 19th century railroad tracks lining the shore of the Monongahela River, Lincoln is a scenic borough with some of the best forests in the surrounding area. This is a rustic, residential neighborhood where people retreat down dirt streets and hilly roads to their multiple-acre properties and hide out for as long as they please. It’s where neighbors walk through the woods, where they drink Yuengling and eat kettle chips inside a little brick shack, where they hike next to a babbling brook and walk up and down a witchy staircase. It’s a woodsy paradise. “It’s acreage, farmland and nice residential lots,” says Dan Haeck, team manager of the Dan Haeck Team with Coldwell Banker Realty.

Lincoln residents hike the trails in Dead Man's Hollow Conservation Area in Liberty.
The ghostly Dead Man's Hollow
Dead Man’s Hollow Conservation Area, a 450-acre greenspace and trail system with thick woods and tons of wildflowers. The Hollow sits on the site of a former quarry and then pipe factory that was acquired by the Allegheny Land Trust in 1994 to protect it from landfill development. The factory structure has been engulfed by nature over the years, giving it an eerie, almost ethereal look. Its creepiness has made it a legendary spot to visit.
