Exploring the Allegheny National Forest | Visit ANF

- The Allegheny National Forest is a VERY special place. It encompasses 513,000 acres of beautiful, pristine wilderness in northwest Pennsylvania. I had the pleasure of spending the weekend in a portion of the forest I've never visited before near Bradford, PA. I camped in Willow bay, hiked the Rimrock trail, fly fished and kayaked on the Allegheny Resivor, and walked the Kinzua Skywalk. I HIGHLY recommend visiting the Allegheny National Forest and Bradford - both are spectacular!

I lived in a little town just south of there called Tionesta. I spent many days and nights camping,hunting and fishing Allegheny National Forest it was a great childhood. I miss it back there one of those things you don't realise what you have till it's gone.
We love Tionesta!
When we come home to visit, we always stay at Buckaloons Campground.
it's great to see some girls taking interest in the great outdoors I love the wilderness the serenity it brings is an amazing feeling you look like you had an awesome time
It sure was. Thanks for watching Charles!
Glad to see your back on the tube!! As a fellow PA resident not too far south in Mercer County, it’s amazing and beautiful how the landscape changes in just an hours drive ..it’s great hunting around the reservoir, take a boat and drop off a few miles back, true hunting adventure!! Love the videos and keep them coming!! Be safe!!
Now that sounds awesome!
Wow your an angel..very very beautiful ..thanks for sharing....awesome place I plan to visit soon...
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Jason!
Hi! I'm from Rhode Island and will be traveling to the Allegheny National Forest and exploring places like Pine Creek Canyon, Kinzua Bridge State Park, The Rimrock Trail, Kinzua Dam and the Point. I have been to many places in PA but have never drivin along the Route 6 corridor. Just waiting to see when places begin to open.
You'll have a blast Al! Enjoy!
Thank you for visiting my home. I have been making plans too do some video of the National Forest this year. I’m so glad you came and enjoyed it. It is an amazing place to live here , mostly in summer though lol. Btw you were the very first video on my search que ( Allegheny National Forest).
It sure is! ANF is a wonderful area.
So cool to see you fishing , hiking, and eating ice cream at the same places I do. Its like other people seeing there favorite athlete, or movie stars in there backyard . You guys, Joe Robbinet, and Shawn James are Rock stars in my eyes. Cant wait to follow your adventures.
Thanks Steven! That means a lot!
**WOWED ME!!**
GORGEOUS PLACE!
You have a good eye for the out doors Allie it looked very peaceful and thanks Allie & NICK for showing the out doors through your eyes. Thanx again and stay safe.
Thanks for watching Tracy!
Glad to have you back you're just as beautiful as outdoors I love you
I do too! You are so beautiful,Allie!
Hey Miss Thang! Wonderful video! I had a hard time looking at the scenery when you were in frame, however... can’t wait to see what else u do, this is my first time seeing your stuff.
Absolutely one of my favorite places to visit. Been there a lot never gets old. From Bradford you’re about a mile from where my mother lives. I miss home!
Bradford was a lovely little town!
It's always enjoyable to watch you having a great time Allie. Thanks for having us along.
Thanks for watching John!
John Williamson
I agree,John. I would date Allie and would do anything for her
Thank you for the amazing guided tour Ace!Looks like a good time there🏕🎣
Thanks Bruce! It was awesome!
Hey, I have an Old Town 10 kayak too. Real sturdy and forgiving boat…like to fish Marsh Creek lake in it…
Cool video Allie I love my beloved Pennsylvania . Thanks for sharing looking forward to more . Stay safe guy's.
Thanks for watching Scott! We love PA also!
You need to go back in the fall...gorgeous!
And the reservoir is great for walleye in the spring
I plan on doing that!
Drop shotting?
Outdoors Allie drop shotting works but just floating around dragging jigs and crawlers works great. The state records from New York and pa have been taken from there in the past.
A fish 😮 🐟!!!
We took the Knox and Kane RR trip with the kids in the late 90's......Damn I'm getting old.....LOL
Great place to visit!
Sweet to see you guys back! You got to love public land!
The best!
I grew up in the Allegheny national forest and although you visited some beautiful and fun places there are so many other areas that are even more secluded and just as beautiful.
I like your enthusiasm for the outdoors.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Great video! Looks like an amazing place to see.
That’s where we are from!! Warren, PA. Love it there. Lots of good hunting too! Cool video
Good stuff guys! We love the area!
I fished Spring Creek in State College last year....also beautiful....cannot go this year but love North central Pa in the summer....For sure in 2019...it is my little heaven on earth....feel close to God.....
I have heard great things about Spring Creek!
Sweet !
This is by my house! Let me know if you ever come back this way, alot of hidden gems not on the normal maps lol
Good to see you back in this part of the country! You need to travel a few hours south and experience the Monongahela National Forrest!! Gain a little altitude and attitude.....
Higher altitudes creates higher attitudes
Sounds like a blast!
@@OutdoorsAllie
I would definitely go camping with you in a heartbeat,Allie
Cool video, beautiful place and love the editing. Your videos rock anyway!
Thanks Kyle!
You should've seen the bridge before tornado blew it down. 301 ft down in middle of bridge. Could feel it sway. Great video.
That is crazy! I wish I could have seen it.
Allegheny national forest is an awesome place. That whole area is. Short ride for us we are up near Lake Ontario.
I haven´t been able to find a tiny cabin like the one in your video at Allegheny National Forest. It would be perfect for us!
Willow Bay Campground!
@@OutdoorsAllie Thanks!
Nothing better than a beautiful woman that loves the outdoors and fishing!!👍👍👍
Cool!! Keep em coming!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful and very informative video! Thanks for the hike! ;-)
Thanks for watching! It was a blast!
That is a beautiful area, haven't been up there in quite a few years. Awesome video
It was so much fun!
I really need an itinerary to visit this forest. Thanks for creating this informative guide, Allie.
Enjoy! 👍
I'm from Southwestern Ohio but I'm obsessed with the geography/geology of Pennsylvania. Ridge and Valley, plateaus, etc
It's a beautiful area!
Love it there grew us in the area was tragic when the tornado hit use to walk on the bridge as a kid really miss it taking my gf there soon
Enjoy Bill. Its a wonderful area!
O wow so jealous . beautiful video . walked on the bridge last year
It was so cool!
@@OutdoorsAllie cant wait to hike the forest there .
Great video! Born and raised on the zoo, and we love it!
Thanks for watching Dustin!
I cried the day I heard about the bridge collapsing !
They should run a zipline across where the bridge was at.
Great video Allie! I visited this area for my first time a couple of weeks ago riding motorcycles with a few buddies. We also went to the Hyner View lookout. I've tried fishing in a kayak...I usually end up swimming with the fish!!
Hahahha ya that happens. Thanks for watching!
Wow you're cool I know a lot about the Allegheny mountains and you're cool as heck one heck of a person continue to enjoying freedom in the wilderness of the Allegheny mountains
Thanks for watching Ralph!

Wow this is a year old video and I just now saw it but it's a great one
It was so much fun!
Wow
Rimrock is a possible site for Cornplanter's Cave, a legendary meeting area for the great Seneca Chief.
A beautiful place made even better by your appreciation of it!
Thank you Jody!
I've gone to Rimrock many times, and have been camping at Willow Bay & Tracy Ridge for 21 years now. I live in the Area and the Allegheny Region is my home:)
It's a beautiful place!
@@OutdoorsAllie It sure is:)
Fun as always
Thanks Tim!
I was just there 3 weeks ago! First time going to the PA federal side! So nice just wish I had more time
Gotta love it!
Looks awesome!
So much fun!
Yay! I kept checking your channel to see if a new video was up! I think I have a problem.
LOL that is awesome. Thanks for the support!
Allie in the Alle... Makes sense.
You've heard of Lovers Leap, I call these places Drop Dead Gorges. I have video looking through the trusses under the bridge before it fell. Just rode through the forest today. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching Mark!
Beautiful place. For those who can’t go see it just sit by the window in any restaurant in the area and watch the logging trucks coming by one after another. You’ll get a chance to see thousands of trees.
Hi, I am from Allison Park, Allegeny County, and grew up there fishing, hunting and camping. Great place and always will be my home town. Enjoyed your trip and do try Pine Creek for some good trout fishing.
Thanks for watching Carl!
Hope you got to see Jake's Rocks too. One of the most beautiful overlooks of the reservoir and dam.
I love it there!
I'm just going throw out a suggestion for some public land in Illinois if you are coming through this state. The southern tip of Illinois has the Shawnee National Forest, a beautiful piece of public land. I have not been to visit but I have driven through the area. Up in the north central part of Illinois there is Starved Rock and Matthiessen state park near the town of Ottawa. I've been to both of these state parks and there are some great trails through some canyons and such that you can hike. Have fun on your traveling adventures and enjoy the beauty of this great country!
Thanks Shannon! That sound awesome!
thanks for posting this great tips
Glad you liked it!
I'd love to go there. I prefer the Pacific Northwest and the redwoods I think, less snakes...., but the closest I've been to the Alleghenies is...South Carolina. .
What a great country. I wish I had been more outdoorsy when I was in my 20's, but I didn't know too many people who liked to do hiking and camping. More city types. =(
Its a beautiful place!
Weird how much better the place you live looks if you try and see it through someone else's eyes lol. See it every day it loses that luster. So thank you.
Thanks for watching Gunner!
The kayak is a good choice.
For sure!!
Great video. Was beginning to wonder what happened to you two. Figured you found an awesome place to park the new Trailer & said heck with making videos...LOL
LOL almost. Just been busy!
nice one
Thank you!
great outing
Thanks Jim!
I think what you meant to say is “hello RUclips, welcome back..to my channel”
LOL
Great video 😍 , looking for some info and/or videos on the kinzua valley trail
Thanks for watching!
Next time you visit give us a heads up you were just a 1/2 block away from our house. My family would love to be your guides for your ANF trip.
You live in a beautiful area!
LOL! I thought you were going for a swim while landing that smallmouth!
LOL it was difficult!
In 2004 I walked all the way across the Kinzua Bridge. I was so high up my fear of heights kicked in halfway across…
LOL it's a cool spot!
Great video
Thanks Bobby!
Yay!! I've been waiting so long for a video from you!
Thanks for watching!!! This one took a while to edit, but it was so much fun!
You did a great job on it! Love all your videos
Very nice!

Outdoors Allie awesome well I’m ready to see y’alls adventures.
Amazing video really has me inspired to pack the family up for a weekend camping trip on public land.!. 🏹🎣🛶🏕️🏞️🏔️⛺
That is awesome Janae! Have a blast!
Public land is crowded enough...
"I heard the military got a safe zone north of here. We just gotta follow the tracks."
-Francis
I'd be freaked out on that tressle.
LOL Nick was.
🌲🤗🌲 Yessssss Allie 🌲🤗🌲
1:30 wow... that is not just any old railroad that is a multifunctional road capable of handling standard 5 and a half Stephenson gauge trains or the narrower 3 and a half foot gauge cars.... me thinks .... there must be a deeper down the rabbit hole story for sure...
most beautiful part of this video was you!
She is adorable. 😍 i love her.
I was just there it was amazing
So cool.
I never knew how beautiful the US was.
Thanks for watching Linda!
Lots of free campsites up in hills all around the Kinzua dam area.
Nice. I'll check it out next time!
What I find funny like me who love around here it's just like OK
i want to just go right into the middle of there and live there, off the land, without the pains and troubles of society
Sure sounds nice!
Good video Allie - fishy fishy in the brook, daddy catch him on a hook, mommy fry him in a pan, baby eat him like a man! old saying :o)
First time watching your videos they are awesome I fly fish in tionesta pa and I am a new subscriber
Thanks for watching Ron! We love Tionesta!
Outdoors Allie thank you I don't think you would reply that was cool I am going to move to tionesta in 2 or 5 years
Beautiful videos Makes me to go there right now.....I am from Cleveland, OH and exploring this forest that is near to me. Any good spots in this national forest you commend that I can map to.
Hey guys! My wife is from Cleveland area, so we have lots of family and friends from around there. I grew up in the region so I can say that there is (almost) no bad choice of a day trip!
Check out: PA Wilds, Friends of the Allegheny National Forest, the National Forest Service website, the ANF visitors center, and lastly, ask the locals a lot of questions (I guarantee every single one of them has a secret spot that "...you have to see it to believe it..."
P.S. don't forget the "Grand Canyon of PA" in Wellsboro!
@@jamesmccosby4680 Thanks for great recommendations.
no probb
Nature makes me feel as if I'm close to God...😇
👍
Would like to apologize for my comment. the word said terrorism was supposed to be tourism. when I text I do voice text and sometimes it doesn't understand my Southern slang would like to apologize for that error
No problem Eugene. Thanks for watching!!
I like the southern people here its alright
Cool video. Did you guys fish below the dam? It's world class fishing for trout. We've had some amazing fishing days down there.
We didn't have enough time. I plan on doing that next spring though!!
Outdoors Allie
I’ll be there this summer,Allie. And you are really beautiful. Maybe I’ll see you there. I’m going this summer
