About Kinzua Bridge State Park

A rail viaduct once carried trains across the valley here before a 2003 tornado brought down much of its steel structure, leaving remnants that now anchor the park's grounds. The 339 acres sit between US Route 6 and Pennsylvania Route 59 along State Route 3011, just outside the Allegheny National Forest, spanning parts of Hamlin and Keating Townships.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
