Renovations at Kinzua Beach
Warren, Pa. – The Allegheny National Forest announced today the temporary closure of the Kinzua Beach Recreation Area. The facility will undergo major renovations beginning immediately and lasting until its re-opening for Memorial Day 2010.
During the construction period, foot travel is permissible; however, the Allegheny NF urges the public to avoid the active construction zone during weekday daylight hours and use extreme caution in the area at all times and be alert to hazards.
The off-season construction also warrants the closure of the parking facilities at Kinzua Beach during the winter season.
District Ranger Tony Scardina stated “we recognize that this temporary closure may inconvenience some members of the public and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation. We look forward to the re-opening of the improved facility next season.”
