16 acres of woods right along the bend of the Allegheny River at Kennerdell, PA are yours to enjoy! We have the best of both worlds- a secluded spot for campfires, hammocks, and hiking, or head down to the river to hang out by the water or kayak! Walk across the bridge to check out great trails in Clear Creek State Forest or drive a few miles Emlenton, Foxburg or Franklin for breweries, wineries, and bike trails. Our favorites: Emlenton- 12 miles: Emlenton Brewhaus, Blue Collar Tavern, Little IT Deli, Allegheny River Bike Trail access Foxburg-16 miles: Foxburg Pizza, Foxburg Wine Cellars, Allegheny Grille, Allegheny River Bike Trail access Franklin- 19 miles: Trails to Ales Brewery,Vino and Vibes, Allegheny River Bike Trail access Pick up the Allegheny River Bike Trail at the end of South Tunnel Rd, about 2 miles down from our location. Sites down at the river are on the flood plain. Setups here are not permanent due to uncertain river heights. Forest sites are uphill. River is accessible with a half mile walk/drive down our drive or via hill stairs. Cell phone service is weak to nonexistent in much of the property, so be prepared to go offline and relax!The Riverfront Campsite is one of our favorite views of the river.  Enjoy being down among the giant sycamores and silver maples as you pitch your tent, have a beach fire, or swing in a hammock next to the Allegheny River. Enjoy this private campsite to fish or rent a kayak to float downstream.  Take a short walk across the Kennerdell Bridge to explore the nearby trails in Clear Creek State Forest.   On lazy days we suggest plopping your camp chair in the water and waving at the kayaks and tubers that pass by. This site is NOT accessible by car.  You will need to hike in down stairs and about an acre to the site from the road.  We can assist you with ATVing your equipment to the site.   Cell service is limited or non-existent at this site- be prepared to go offline and relax!
