Why you should go…

Allegheny National Forest covers more than 500,000 acres of northwest Pennsylvania and was established in 1923. You can camp, rent a cabin, fish, ride over 100 miles of off-highway vehicle trails or mountain bike on more than 150 miles of trail. The Allegheny Reservoir, formed when Kinzua Dam was completed in 1965, has boat launches and Kinzua Beach. Hearts Content Scenic Area holds some of the state's remaining old-growth forest.
