getting out around Warren, Pennsylvania
County Fair
Pittsfield, Pa
Welcome to the land of Belle Riviere. Belle Riviere was the first European name of the
Allegheny River. It is a direct translation of the Seneca name, "Ohiyo", from which came the name
for the Ohio River downstream. Motorists on Route 86 in New York State can still see the original
Native American name (Ohiyo) on the roadside as they enter the Seneca Nation at the upper
Allegheny River. Warren, Pennsylvania makes a nice vantage point to enjoy these wonders of
nature.
The theme here is the beauty of the Kinzua region in and around Warren County in the
northwest part of the state. In Maine, a popular phrase is "You can't get there from here." Around
here, it might be "You can't get here from there." There is no interstate highway nearby nor any
quick connection to one. This has served to protect natural attractions in the area because so few
people know about it or travel through it.
Warren, Pennsylvania maintains a cornucopia of outdoors possibilities, with possibly unlimited
potential for hunting, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, bicycling, canoeing and kayaking (which
we call "paddling"), snowmobiling, off-road (ATV) touring, and backpacking, just to name a few.
If you can do it outdoors, there are few things you can't do here in our half-million acre woods.
