Situated on 339 acres just east of the Allegheny National Forest, the Kinzua Bridge State Park is surely a unique sight to see. The park was even chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as one of the “25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks.” I mean, it’s not incredibly often that you get to wander ruins of this
