Kinzua Creek (Upper)

The Upper Kinzua Creek represents the wild, free-flowing headwaters of the iconic Kinzua valley before it reaches the backwaters of the reservoir. This section of the creek is characterized by its technical riffles, deep pools, and the massive boulders that have tumbled from the surrounding cliffs. It is a legendary trout fishery and offers some of the most scenic and remote paddling opportunities in the forest during high water periods, flowing through a landscape that feels largely untouched by time.
