Kinzua Beach Picnic Area

The Kinzua Beach Picnic Area offers one of the most scenic lakeside dining experiences in the Allegheny National Forest. Situated adjacent to the popular swimming beach, the picnic area features numerous tables and grills shaded by a canopy of mature hardwoods. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the reservoir’s high ridges and the massive engineering of the Kinzua Dam. It is a central hub for summer recreation, providing a family-friendly atmosphere where the forest meets the water in a perfectly maintained park setting.
