From downtown Warren, at the Civil War Monument,
cross the Hickory Street Bridge into residential south
Warren. At the end of the bridge you can take a sharp right
turn into Crescent Park for a side trip picnic on the water,
launch a canoe or just feed the ducks.
Bear left at the light along the Allegheny River over the
railroad tracks at the railroad trestle. The next light straight
ahead is Route 6 where you turn left heading east toward
Kinzua Dam. At the Glade Run traffic light you can get a
good view of the United Refining Company. At the next light
you will see the Glade Run Bridge on your left and the old
Allegheny Hotel on the other side of the bridge. You can turn
left back into Warren on Pennsylvania Avenue where you
can drive onto Hemlock Road to follow the river on your right
directly to the dam and the national fishery.
To stay on the scenic drive to the Allegheny National
Forest go straight at the Glade Run Bridge traffic light and
look for the next blinking traffic light about a mile down the
road on Route 6. Turn left onto Route 59, the road to the
dam, and the river will be on your left. This will take you to
the dam about 6 miles away on Route 59. Here you can visit
the Kinzua Information Center, pictured above, the Kinzua
Beach or take side trips to Jakes Rocks or Rimrock.
Continuing east past the Kinzua Marina on Route 59 you
will eventually reach the Bradford Ranger Station on your
right which has an interesting wildlife display, parking, and
bathrooms.
