Our Take
What makes RED BRIDGE (PA) special
Red Bridge Campground occupies a forested peninsula on the eastern shore of the Kinzua Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir in northwest Pennsylvania. The Allegheny National Forest surrounds the campground with dense hardwood forest that erupts into spectacular color every October — reds, oranges, and golds reflecting off the reservoir''s calm surface. Swimming and bank fishing are available right from the campground, and a nearby boat launch opens up the reservoir''s extensive shoreline for anglers targeting walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass. For hikers, the North Country National Scenic Trail crosses the highway just an eighth of a mile south. This 4,600-mile trail stretches from New York to North Dakota, and the Allegheny National Forest section offers nearly 100 miles of maintained tread through rolling forest. The Kinzua Bridge State Park, home to what was once the tallest railroad viaduct in the world, is a short drive away and features a dramatic skywalk over the valley. The campground is shaded by mature hemlock, oak, and cherry trees, and the sites along the waterfront offer direct views across the reservoir. Facilities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. Quiet and uncrowded outside of holiday weekends.
