Vinegar Hollow

Vinegar Hollow is a 46-acre stretch of wooded green space in Kilbuck Township that Hollow Oak Land Trust worked for more than five years to protect. Today, it’s open to the public, with over two miles of trails accessible from a trailhead on Center Avenue in Ben Avon.

This space sits right in the middle of several river communities—Kilbuck, Emsworth, Ben Avon, Ohio Township, Ben Avon Heights, Avalon, and Bellevue—making it an important place for both recreation and conservation close to home.

The land was protected with support from Allegheny County’s Trail Development Fund and the Colcom Foundation. Since acquiring the property, Hollow Oak has been working with volunteers and community members to care for the land, improve existing trails, and thoughtfully expand the trail system over time.

Vinegar Hollow is part of a larger vision to connect people and communities through greenways. Projects like the Montour Run Greenway, Thorn Hollow, and Trout Run are all helping build a more connected trail network across the region.

Like all Hollow Oak conservation areas, Vinegar Hollow is a work in progress—shaped by the people who use it and care for it. Volunteers continue to play a big role in maintaining trails, restoring habitat, and helping this space grow into something even more special.
