Bent Run Trail

The Bent Run Trail is an exhilarating, short-distance scramble that takes hikers directly into the heart of a cascading forest gorge. Located adjacent to the Bent Run Waterfall near the Kinzua Dam, the trail is rugged and steep, often requiring hikers to use hands and feet to navigate the mossy rocks and root-tangled slopes. It offers intimate views of the tumbling waters and unique access to the upper tiers of the falls, providing a condensed but intense nature experience that is a favorite for those visiting the reservoir.
