KINZUA VALLEY MARKS TRAIL COMPLETION

We’re honored to see the completion of the East Meets West trail connection featured on the front page of The Bradford Era. This long-awaited project now allows visitors to travel a continuous 21-mile stretch between Red Bridge Campground and Kinzua Bridge State Park safely and seamlessly.

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, partner, and community member who helped make this vision a reality. The Kinzua Valley continues to grow into one of the most beautiful outdoor destinations in our region.

Hike, bike, or ski the beautiful Kinzua Valley Trail in Northwestern Pennsylvania! Travel along the banks of the Kinzua Creek through vibrant forest and marshland bounding with wildlife. Just bring your boots, bike, or skis and take to the trail for serenity or adventure. Snowshoeing is also gaining popularity on the trail.

equestrians can now ride the Knox & Kane Rail Trail from Mt Jewett to the Guffey Trailhead; follow the Kinzua VAlley Trail East to US Route 219 (Cross under the bridge in the creek); to the Tally Ho Trailhead and on to the Westline Trailhead. Equestrians, please stay to the right of the bike path and do not leave a mess on the trail (Boot the Poop). There is a Hitching Rail at the Hacker St pavilion (in Mt Jewett) and one at the Tally Ho Trailhead. Also a Highline set up at the Westline Trailhead.

With grant funding and the tireless effort of dedicated volunteers, the Kinzua Valley Trail Club added 4 miles to the trail in 2016, 2.5 miles in 2018; and they continue to Blaze the Trail! Presently, the KVT spans 7 miles, starting at the trailhead in the Village of Westline and continuing to Red Bridge Recreation Area of the Allegheny Reservoir. But, work is ongoing to extend the trail all the way to Kinzua Bridge State Park near Mount Jewett for a total of 21 miles! Construction has been completed betweem US Rte 219 and Guffey.
