Kinzua Creek

Kinzua Creek

Kinzua Creek (pronounced Kin' zoo) is a tributary of the Allegheny River in McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States.

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 (Native American for "turkey") joins the Allegheny Reservoir 10 mi (16 km) upstream of the city of Warren, a few miles upstream of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River.
