Park owned by the Borough of Hanover, in York County, and shared with the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. The lake is the major water supply for Hanover, McSherrystown, and Penn Township. There are may trophy big-mouthed bass and some of other species. This is also a good location to see meadowlarks, bald eagles, osprey, and water fowl. Some picnic tables are available.

Encloses the Allegheny Reservoir.

Located just northeast of Warren, PA, west on US 6, and then north on Highway 59, the Kinzua Dam is a symbol of US engineering and architecture combined, as it regulates the Allegheny River on its way from lower New York State south to Downtown Pittsburgh. This huge dam has many overlooks: below the dam, on the dam, and high up on top of the Allegheny Mountains, part of the eastern US chain of Appalachian Mountains. The scene is so serene, so quiet, and so lovely that any traveler will enjoy the visit. Nearest rooms and good diners/restaurants are nearby in Warren. There is no charge for visitors, and many abundant opportunities for recreation exist like boating, swimming, canoeing, and hiking. Restrooms are attached to the overlook on the top of the dam itself.

Our group rented 2 pontoon boats for the afternoon. At $225.00 was not a bad price at all. Nice big, clean and calm lake with plenty of spots to pull aside and swim.

The Austin Dam tragedy was an unexpected and sobering experience and well worth the time if you are in the area. The park provides you with enough background to understand what happened there that day in 1911, and it offers a nice open space to reflect on those events. The park is free although it relies on donations to maintain the area. I highly recommend this if you’re in the Pennsylvania Wilds.

This is it if it’s peace and quiet that you are looking for. Or fishing from a kayak. Or a place for the kids to swim in an uncrowded lake. Unless it’s just a day trip, figure on camping because there are no hotels around. This is truly out in the middle of nowhere!

Went to see the dam for view, it was very cold and windy. We will go back in the spring to picnic and hike. Beautiful area.

The Mill Creek Falls Trail is a section of the Mason-Dixon Trail. From Lancaster County cross the Norman Wood Bridge into York County and take first right onto River Road. The trail head is past Lock No 12. You'll see it after passing a stone wall on the left. We went down to the next pull off lot on the right and walked back to the trailhead. The waterfall is about 3 minutes in on the trail. We were there in fall but the hillside is covered with rhododendrons so we'll be back in the spring to see that display. After the waterfall there are some switchbacks up the mountain. The trail blazes are sky blue and easy to follow. Walking sticks are helpful and I wouldn't want to do it if it's wet. Don't let the switchbacks deter you, once you get past them it's not bad and there are lots of overlooks on the top of ridge that make it worth the climb. We're 68 and 70 and the hike took us about an hour. You end up on a gravel road by the Holtwood Dam, walk a few feet and turn right onto River Road and continue back to parking lot. You'll pass a porta potty on the way. This was a wonderful, peaceful hike. Highly recommend it! Afterwards you can drive down and take a peek at Lock No 12 on the old canal.
