More Information About Kinzua Bridge State Park
 
“Walk the Tracks across the Sky” The Kinzua Sky Walk is constructed on the restored towers of the historic Kinzua Viaduct, once the longest and highest railroad viaduct in the world. This pedestrian walkway, which extends 600 feet out onto the Kinzua Gorge, features an octagon shaped overlook with a partial glass floor that provides stunning 8-mile forest vistas.
 
Prime fall foliage viewing is the last week of September and the first three weeks of October. Interpretive staff at the Kinzua Bridge State Park can provide group and school programming with prior arrangement. Courses offered include: History of the Bridge, Apple Cider Making, Candle Making, Birding, GPS Basics & Geocaching, and Fun with Trees and Leaves. Admission to Kinzua Bridge State Park and the Kinzua Sky Walk is free. Park has a pavilion that can be reserved if your group would like to bring a “sack lunch”. For active groups, a guided hike on-site at the General Kane Trail provides an opportunity to view American Chestnut Trees, wildlife and learn about the natural regeneration of a forest following a tornado.
 
The park is motor coach, bus, and RV friendly. Buses may drive directly to the entrance of the visitor center and park office to drop off and pick up groups.
 
Please note a multi-year project to rehab the skywalk is set to begin in the fall of 2024 and during the project, motor coach groups must call the park in advance to discuss the logistics of their visit.
 
Participants may explore the park, exhibits on both levels of the visitor center, and visit the gift shop. During the project the Skywalk and Kinzua Creek Trail will be closed, however the observation decks and some of the trails in the park will remain open. Each fall during peak leaf viewing the project is scheduled to be on pause with the skywalk open to visitation. Please contact the park for the most up to date construction schedule.
 
All guided activities must be scheduled at least 30 days prior to arrival.
