Visitors can watch bald eagles and osprey as you enjoy kayaking, fishing and nature at this primitive campsite. We have just one site at the moment and plan to add just a few more. Our campsite is very private and includes a fire ring, a picnic table and a trash can. Parking is available right at the site. It's just a 2 minute walk to the northernmost kayak launch on the East Branch of the Clarion River. Several small jack dams will make your kayak experience a delight. We have a private 1 acre pond just a stones throw from the campsite that visitors can enjoy. Fishing is permitted in the pond, no license needed. Fly fishermen will enjoy the thrill of catching native and stocked trout in the most beautiful section on the East Branch of the Clarion River (PA fishing license and trout stamp required).Nearby is Bendigo State Park that offers picnic areas and swimming in an immaculately kept pool. Just 1 1/2 miles away is the Dam Inn where you can stop for a beer or for a nice dinner on the deck. Adjacent to the campsite is State Gamelands #25.

The best camping near Kinzua Bridge State Park guide

Overview

About

In 1882, the Kinzua Railroad bridge was constructed. At the time, the 2,053 feet long span was the longest and highest railroad bridge in the world. An engineering masterpiece, it earned the distinction of a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1977. But Mother Nature had her own ideas for the bridge. In 2003, a violent tornado destroyed two-thirds of the span.

The state of Pennsylvania decided to preserve the wreckage and convert the remaining length of bridge into a skywalk with a glass viewing platform. Now a State Park, it’s a great place to see the aftermath of nature’s fury. The view of the valley is a nice too.

The park is especially beautiful during the fall where the trees come alive with their signature reds, oranges, and yellows. Nearby picnic areas are great for making a day of it.

When to go

The best time to visit Kinzua Bridge State Park is during the fall, when the foliage transforms into a vibrant tapestry of colors. Summer offers warm weather perfect for exploring, while spring brings blooming flora. Winters can be harsh, with snow potentially limiting access to certain areas of the park.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly at high elevations.
  • Wear sturdy footwear for safe exploration of the trails and Sky Walk.
  • Keep a safe distance from wildlife and do not feed the animals.
  • Be aware that the park is a day-use area with no overnight accommodations.
  • Visit the park's visitor center for interactive exhibits and more information about the bridge's history.
