Kinzua Creek
Kinzua Creek /ˈkɪnzuː/ is a 26.5-mile (42.6 km) tributary of the Allegheny River that is located in McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States.[3] GeographyThe 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.[3] Kinzua Creek, named for a settlement of the Seneca people[2], joins the Allegheny Reservoir 10 miles (16 km) upstream of the city of Warren, a few miles upstream of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River.[3] The location is also the former location of Kinzua, an unincorporated community that was wiped out as a result of the construction of the Kinzua Dam; it previously formed the boundary between Kinzua and (West) Corydon before both communities were dissolved in the 1960s.
