This is the famous Three-Rivers of Pittsburgh where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. The listed coordinates are to the point of confluence in Point State Park. Another great viewing spot is Mt. Washington on the south shore.

The Monongahela River runs 128 miles and is one of the few major navigable rivers in the world that run north. It starts at Fairmont, West Virginia and flows north into Pennsylvania. Monongahela is derived from a Native American Word meaning "high banks or bluffs".

The Allegheny River runs 325 miles from Porter County, PA into New York state and back into Pennsylvania. The name comes from the Lenape Native Americans and is commonly believed to mean "fine river".

The Ohio River runs 981 miles ending at Cairo, IL and is the largest tributary to the Mississippi River. The name comes from an Iroquoian word meaning “great river”.
