I gather that this is old news to many runners of the local trails, but for whatever reason it took me quite a long time to figure out that the Eliza Furnace Trail basically passes Panther Hollow Lake right around where it hits Boundary Street. Not sure why I never noticed this before (from either side of the tracks) but I didn't. It actually wasn't until I was exploring Google Maps a few weeks ago that I realized the two trails run about 50 feet away from each other down there by the pond. So to any other directionally-challenged minds like mine, this makes for a great link between Schenley and the South Side. For reference, the run from the Riverfront Park to the pond is just about 2.5 miles.
Here's a nice 8-mile lollipop starting at the end of 18th Street in the South Side.
