Overview
Kinzua Bridge State Park holds the remains of the Kinzua Viaduct, once the tallest and longest railroad bridge in the world. A 2003 tornado destroyed much of it, and the surviving towers now support the Kinzua Sky Walk, a 600-foot walkway with a glass-floored observation deck 225 feet above the gorge. The visitor center has exhibits, trails lead into the gorge for views of the fallen towers, and autumn is especially popular.
