Kinzua Creek is a tributary of the Allegheny River that is located in McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States.Gertler, Edward. Keystone Canoeing, Seneca Press, 2004.
Geography The upper reaches of the creek pass through Kinzua Bridge State Park, where the creek was spanned by the Kinzua Viaduct until a tornado destroyed the viaduct in 2003.
Kinzua Creek, named for a settlement of the Seneca people, joins the Allegheny Reservoir upstream of the city of Warren, a few miles upstream of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River. The location is also the former location of Kinzua, an unincorporated community that was wiped out as a result of the construction of the Kinzua Dam; it previously formed the boundary between Kinzua and (West) Corydon before both communities were dissolved in the 1960s.
