Rimrock Overlook & Kinzua Beach will be open to the public starting April 1, 2021. Rimrock is a beautiful overlook along Rt. 59, between Bradford & Warren. Watch for the sign. There is a short hike to the overlook, and then for the adventurous you can hike 1.3-miles to the shoreline of the Allegheny Reservoir. I say adventurous because it is all downhill, until you need to climb back to the top! Bathrooms at rec sites will be open on or before April 1.
