This Epic Skywalk Is Totally Worthy Of A Road Trip From Buffalo
Buffalo is located within driving distance to so many amazing places. Niagara Falls is under an hour away, Finger Lakes is an easily drivable day trip, and this gem is totally road trip worthy at just two hours away away. The next time you’re planning a mini getaway from the 716, consider adding this epic skywalk to your list!

The park consists of 399 acres with several trails and – its main attraction – the Kinzua Bridge.


This structure was once the tallest and longest railroad structure, but the Skywalk itself was reconstructed in 2011 as a walkway.

After the damage, the structure was reinvented to become what it is today - a popular tourist destination in McKean County, PA.

Landscape and nature photographers flock to this location for stunning shots of fall foliage, the Kinzua Valley, and the bridge itself.

If standing on top of tall structures isn't your thing, you can still enjoy the beauty of Kinzua Bridge State Park. The valley walkways give an up close and personal view of the structure of the bridge. There are also some great photo taking opportunities from below!

When you're there, take in the nature that surrounds you.

There's a partial glass platform at the end of the Skywalk where visitors can look down at the world below them. Amazing!
Have you ever been to the Kinzua Bridge State Park to walk the Skywalk? Or perhaps a passenger on the train while it was still a functioning railroad?
