Kinzua Tailwaters Access

This access point on Hemlock Road provides parking at a pull-off near the Allegheny National Fish Hatchery, with a short walk to shallow wading water and Dixon Island in the Kinzua Tailwaters section of the Allegheny River.

The area is characterized by clear, productive water suitable for wading when dam outflow is below 2,000 cfs, and offers a peaceful, scenic setting in the narrow Allegheny River Valley with relatively light angler pressure.
