We used to go to Red Bridge every year and still get down to that area at least once a year.
If you're heading south from NY and take Rt 219 be warned - from Rt 17 / I86 it's a rough road to the Pa line. And the town of Limestone is a speed trap, 40 MPH but it's so rough you don't want to go faster anyhow.
If your route map tells you to take Rt 770 west off of Rt 219 it's a moderately steep road. I've driven further south on 219 and then west on Rt 59, it's a bit of a backtrack but not as steep.
We hook up with Allegheny Outfitters in Warren, they shuttle us and our canoe to the Kinzua dam & we paddle the Allegheny river back to their livery in Warren. If you launch at a Pa State boat launch you need a $10 launch permit but since the Kinzua dam launch is Federal it's a moot point.
And I need to look at my ANF map, there's a small unmarked launch area I believe is called Kinzua Bay.
Oh, PFD's are required when paddling the reservoir. We got a gentle reminder from a Ranger once.
