Kinzua Heights

Kinzua Heights is a high-elevation residential and scenic area perched on the ridges overlooking the Kinzua Dam and the Allegheny Reservoir. Known for its commanding views and cool mountain breezes, the area serves as a gateway to several of the forest’s most popular attractions, including the Rimrock and Jakes Rocks overlooks. Historically, the heights became a focal point for modern development following the creation of the reservoir, and today it offers a unique blend of forest living and proximity to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the Pennsylvania Wilds.
