Review:
The Allegheny National Forest is a lovely national forest located just an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, spanning more than 513,000 acres throughout northwestern Pennsylvania.
The forest, which was established in 1923, is the state's only protected national forest, located within the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains foothills near the famed oil region of Titusville.
Visitors can explore the forest's three beautiful units, which include the protected Allegheny Wild and Scenic River, known for its excellent fishing, canoeing, and boating opportunities and the landmark Kinzua Dam.
The Allegheny Reservoir offers seasonal swimming beaches, day-use picnic sites, and a fishing pier, while the Clarion Wild and Scenic River is home to hunting grounds and hiking areas.
