What Does Your
Perfect Trail Look Like?
Enjoy nature
along with dining,
shopping, and
historic sites.
Spring
Photograph by Rocky Holland
The green of Spring is different in
the forest – light and fresh with a
touch of sunshine on the leaves.
Wildflowers add to the color; the
songbirds return to fill the air with
music. Plan a scenic drive to
admire the rebirth of spring. Renew
your spirit & soul along the way!
Summer
Lush, green forests. Cool, mountain
streams. Scenic overlooks. Clear,
blue skies above. Perfect for hiking,
biking and enjoying the great
outdoors. At night, the stars twinkle
against an inky sky – picture
perfect!
Autumn
In Autumn, nature puts on the show
of the year. Warm, sun-soaked
days. Crisp starlit nights. Enjoy
an endless canopy of crimson
and gold. Prime leaf season in
this “neck” of the woods is late
September, early October. Make
your reservations early for this
performance!
Winter
White blankets cover the hillsides
and streams. Ice sparkles on
tree limbs. Enjoy a drive through
pristine white forests. Play outside
in the snow, go sledding, crosscountry skiing or strap on a pair of
snowshoes! Plan an overnight at
one of our warm and cozy B&Bs,
hotels or hibernate in front of the
fireplace in the “Big House” at
Glendorn.

Birding Trails
Location is everything, they say, and that goes for the Allegheny National
Forest Region and birds. More than 200 species of birds can be found on the
Allegheny National Forest, including bald eagles and osprey.
The most common birds found are the ruffed grouse, the state bird of Pennsylvania,
and the wild turkey. Buzzard Swamp, south of Kane, is a prime area to view these
birds. The mourning warbler will likely be seen in clear-cut areas. Some of the
most common warblers seen here are yellow, chestnut-sided, yellow-rumped,
northern parula and bay-breasted. The hard-wooded forests are home to such birds
as the yellow-bellied sapsucker, winter wren and hermit thrush.
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) are a fish-
Bald eagles (haliaeetus
leucocephalus) are among
the largest birds of prey.
They may weigh up to 14
pounds and have seven-foot
wingspans. Bald eagles are
readily identified by their white heads and tails; however, they don’t attain this
plumage until five years of age. They nest in large trees near water. Bald eagles
have been sighted at the Allegheny Reservoir, Tunungwant Creek, and north of
Eldred along the Allegheny River and Oswayo Creek.
Birding Sites
An excellent interpretive trail, Timberdoodle
Flats, is a 1.4 mile loop trail located along Rt.
59 southwest of Bradford. This trail is named
for the American woodcock, also knows as the
timberdoodle, that uses both the forest and open
areas for nesting.
At Tracy Ridge Campground, you might find a
northern saw-whet owl from March through July. Big Bend Birding Overlook
Cerulean warblers sing in the oak trees along the Tracy Ridge Trail.
Other suggested sites for birding are Marilla Reservoir, Rt. 346 in the Willow Bay
area connecting to NY Rt. 280 along the northern portion of the Allegheny Reservoir,
and along Rt. 59 at the Big Bend Birding Overlook just past the Kinzua Dam.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Finding Bigfoot
Myth or Fact?
Bigfoot (Sasquatch), named for its large footprints, is normally described as a
large bipedal humanoid that lives in remote, heavily forested areas throughout
the world. Folklore provides us with detailed descriptions of Bigfoot in every
continent except Antarctica. These creatures are believed to communicate with
each other by knocking on wood.
An unidentifiable creature was captured by a game camera, mounted in a
tree by Rick Jacobs in a remote area of the ANF. Researchers from Animal
Planet’s Finding Bigfoot sought out Bigfoot in the Kinzua Valley and the
ANF. Their research concluded this region has positive sightings and signs
of Bigfoot.
Could Bigfoot really be living here? Many locals believe, but others
have fun promoting the idea. Plan on having your photo taken with “Bigfoot,”
statues of the creature located at Bell’s Meat Market in Kane, and at Rock City
Park. Locally, you can purchase Bigfoot Wine, Bigfoot Sausage and
other products.
The Great Finding Bigfoot GeoTrail
Travel the footpaths of pioneer settlers, wildcatters,
bootleggers…and possibly Big Foot as you search
for the 30 geocaches hidden along the Great
Finding Bigfoot Geotrail. Record the
secret code found in each geocache
on the downloadable form, then
mail the completed form into
the ANF Visitors Bureau to
receive your free trackable
geocoin. Entries will be
submitted into a contest to win
a free GPS unit. Download your
form at: visitANF.com.
Geocaching
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor
treasure hunt. It is a fun, free, interactive
way to enjoy the outdoors and technology,
and it is suitable for all ages. Enter a zip
code on geocaching.com to begin. Use
the clues and a GPS unit or smart phone
to find the hidden caches. A cache, in
geocaching language, is the hidden item
containing either a code or stamp enabling
you to obtain a trackable geocoin. In our
region, there are thousands of geocaches.
Popular local zip codes to get you started
are: 16701, 16735, 16749, 16731, 16347,
16333, 16740 and 14779. Have Fun!

Fishing
The Allegheny National Forest
offers the angler a variety of fishing
opportunities from small native brook
trout to trophy fishing for muskie,
pike and walleye in the Allegheny
Reservoir. The Allegheny Reservoir,
a 12,000-acre impoundment on
the Allegheny River, is the largest
reservoir on the Forest.
Fly fishing: The forest abounds with hundreds of miles of stream trout
fishing from the large tailwater fishery at the base of the Kinzua Dam to the
tiny brook trout streams on the Allegheny Plateau. Kinzua Creek is a local
favorite. Grey fox, march brown, green drakes and native brown trout are
found in these waters.
Canoeing and Kayaking
The Allegheny National Forest provides camping and launching facilities in
Pennsylvania. In New York the Seneca Nation of Indians (716-945-1790),
Cattaraugus County (716-354-2615), and Allegany State Park (716-354-9121)
offer similar facilities.
The southern-most tips of the Red Bridge arm and Sugar Bay of the Allegheny
Reservoir provide an excellent place for canoeing and kayaking. Access to these
areas can be gained by using the Kiasutha Boat Launch.

Tracks Across
Hidden … deep within the forest of
Northwestern Pennsylvania … an engineering
masterpiece, the Kinzua Viaduct once soared
301 feet high and 2,053 feet across, and was
at one time the highest and longest railroad
bridge in the world.
In 1882, General Thomas Kane, a Philadelphia lawyer, decorated Civil War
veteran, and president of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Coal Company,
had rich coal deposits south of the Kinzua Valley. But since his customers
were to the north, Kane needed to cross that valley. Kane needed a bridge.
Paris-born Octave Chanute, chief engineer for the Erie Railroad, rose to the
challenge. The man who would later help the Wright brothers fly had a bold
solution … a bridge unlike any the world had seen.
Once billed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” this masterpiece was hit by
a tornado in 2003 and laid in partial ruins until September 15, 2011 when the
grand opening of the Kinzua Sky Walk brought life back into the Kinzua Bridge
State Park.
The Kinzua Sky Walk is a pedestrian walkway built on six of the historic
viaduct towers which remained following the tornado. Extending over 600 feet
out into the gorge, the skywalk features an octagon-shaped overlook at the end
with a partial glass floor which allows visitors to peer down below. Visitors can
once again experience the thrill of “Walking the Tracks Across the Sky” as
they enjoy stunning views spanning miles across the landscape.
History of the Bridge
Chief Engineer Octave Chanute contracted the Pennsylvania firm of Clarke,
Reeves & Company to design and fabricate the bridge. Adolphus Bonzano
designed a wrought iron bridge using his “Phoenix Column,” an engineering
breakthrough that enabled tall structures to resist vibration and buckling.
The bridge was pre-fabricated in Phoenixville, near Philadelphia, and
transported to the site for erection. Once the sandstone foundation piers were
in place, 125 men completed the construction in just 94 days.
Three and one-half million pounds of iron and $275,000 later, the first steampowered train rolled across delivering General Kane’s coal to market. The
Viaduct was an immediate sensation. It stood 24 feet higher than the Brooklyn
Bridge and became an instant tourist attraction. Walking out on the bridge was
the next best thing to flying.
But by 1900, the locomotives and railroad cars hauling coal and timber across
the Viaduct had become larger and heavier. A stronger steel bridge was required.
Using 6.7 million pounds of steel held together by 895,000 rivets, workers
erected a new bridge to replace the original. Two timber travelers worked
toward the center, demolishing the oil iron towers one at a time as the new
steel ones were hoisted into place. A crew of 100 to 150 men, working 11hour days, finished construction in just four months.

Allegheny National Forest Region
Park of the Year 2012
KINZUA Sky Walk
the Sky
For generations, freight trains loaded with coal, lumber and oil roared across
the Kinzua Viaduct. Later, excursion trains brought sightseers and visiting
engineers from around the globe to view the majestic bridge. Since 1963, the
bridge has served as the centerpiece of the Kinzua Bridge State Park.
The Power of Nature
Tornado Strikes July 21, 2003
Bridge designer C.R. Grimm predicted his creation would last 100 years. And
he was right. Grimm’s design used roller expansion bearings where the tower
legs were anchored to the masonry foundation piers. This design allowed
lateral expansion of the tower legs under temperature loading. But his failure to
replace the original 1881 anchor bolts would have catastrophic consequences.
In July 2003, engineers and
skilled bridge builders were hard
at work on a $12 million repair
project to reinforce the aging
structure. The workers decided
to call it a day when the sky went
black and the winds rushed in.
A tornado tore through the forest
heading straight for the Viaduct.
Hundreds of trees were ripped from their roots and 11 of the bridges 20 towers
were lifted, twisted and thrown onto the valley floor.
Engineers later confirmed that winds
attacked from three directions. The
original 1882 anchor blots and
collar coupling assemblies, which
mated the old bolts to the later 1900
construction, had failed.
Within 30 seconds, nature had
brought the mighty span to its knees.

Featuring the Kinzua Sky Walk, scenic overlooks, lovely picnic areas,
interpretive programs, and a rentable park pavilion for groups, this day use
park is open year round. Admission is free. A new trail to a viewing platform

Tips
Leaf Peepers
Plan for a peek at the fall foliage. Best Color - the last
two weeks of September, Labor Day and the first two
weeks of October.

Allegheny National Forest Region
Driving Tours
Motor Through the Mountains
The Highlands of the Alleghenies are know far and wide for their scenic
beauty. Crossing from Ohio into Pennsylvania, through the western counties,
Pennsylvania Route 6 - designated “One of America’s Most Scenic Drives” by
National Geographic Magazine-is perfect for touring by car, motorcycle or RV.
Late September and early October are prime times for viewing fall foliage.
Trees practically swallow the highway as it winds into the Allegheny National Forest
Region in Sheffield, Allegheny Cellars Winery celebrates the rugged terrain
by offering their signature “Big Foot” wine. Following Rt. 6 east you are now
entering McKean County, Trail Central.
Olmsted Manor
The world’s finest hardwoods are grown
in this area. Just before Ludlow, watch for
signs on the right that lead to the Tionesta
National Scenic Area. This is the largest
strand of ancient trees on the Allegheny
National Forest. Nearby, Olmsted Manor,
Wildcat Park and the trail systems within
the forest offer lovely diversions.
In Kane, plan a stop at ArtWorks at the Depot, a Pennsylvania Wilds Artisan
Shop. “Foodies” will want to visit Bell’s Meat & Poultry, Texas Hot Lunch 4
Sons and Flickerwood Wine Cellars & Lounge to sample the authentic foods
and wines of the region.
Route 6 now winds through the forest to
Lantz Corners and Mount Jewett, sites
to see include Nebo Chapel and the
Mount Jewett Heritage Mural. Jewett’s
Kaffe Sol serves up local history along
with great coffee and cappuccino.
Take an interesting four mile side trip here
at the Kinzua Bridge Scenic Byway
to the Kinzua Bridge State Park, home of
Kinzua Bridge State Park
the recently opened Kinzua Sky Walk.
A “must see” destination, the Kinzua Sky Walk is a stunning pedestrian walkway
with a partial glass floor built on the restored towers of the historic Kinzua
Viaduct, once the largest and highest railroad viaduct in the world.
Return to Route 6 to travel east through rural
farms and forest to Smethport. Plan time
to stroll through the Smethport Mansion
District and visit the Old Jail Museum and
Hamlin Lake. Between Smethport and Port
Allegany, stop to see the restoration process
for Lynn Hall. Route 6 begins following
the course of the AlleghenyRiver. Eastward
beyond McKean County, follow Route 6 east
to the PA Lumber Museum in Galeton.
