Settler’s Cabin Park is a 1,600-acre county public park located west of Pittsburgh. Its name is derived from the 1780s log cabin that was constructed by some of the region’s earliest Western settlers.

The region was famous for its high output of shallow coal, and was a maze of abandoned open and back-filled mines when the county secured it. Active wells and exposed oil and gas lines were initial problems, but the grading and reforestation of the land has restored it to rolling wooded slopes and meadows.

Settler’s Cabin has the most heavily used of the county’s three wave pools. The themes of the 11 groves and shelters are Indian names such as Algonquin, Seneca, Apache and Tomahawk.
