rimrock trail
Connector trail from Kinzua Beach to Rimrock Overlook
designed by Warren County Career Center students.
Current access to Rimrock from the Kinzua Beach
area requires either a trip by motorized vehicle
up Route 59 or via a somewhat hazardous hike
through unmarked forest, utilized only by the
most experienced hikers. Creation of this trail will
encourage family use and allow visitors to recreate
on multiple locations from a single staging area at the
beach. Visitors will be able to migrate East and West
among the multiple locations with greater ease.

In response to this recommendation, the ANF reacted to a waterline that was due for replacement along the same path. WCCC students that had participated in a field trip last fall 2009, particularly Nicole Doverspike from Dan Passmore's drafting class, prepared a presentation for the design, including a handicapped accessible observation deck, benches, and an information kiosk. After a few modifications, the proposal was made available for public opinion, garnering a majority of positive response from the community and organizations.

Rimrock Trail Construction Underway
The Allegheny National Forest (NF) announced the construction of a new low- impact, non-motorized interpretive hiking trail between the Kinzua Beach and Rimrock Overlook as part of the recently approved Rimrock Trail Project.
The new trail is still currently under construction and the Forest is therefore asking for the cooperation of the public by avoiding the area so that the trail construction can proceed safely and on schedule. An official announcement will be made as soon as construction is complete and the trail can be opened for public use.
