Allegheny Reservoir, Water reservoir in Warren County and Cattaraugus County, United States.
The Allegheny Reservoir spans 24 miles across Pennsylvania and New York states, covering 21,180 acres of water surface within the Allegheny National Forest.
The reservoir emerged in 1965 through the construction of Kinzua Dam, following the United States Congress authorization in the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938.
The reservoir area holds significance for the Seneca Nation, as its creation led to the relocation of several communities from their traditional lands.
Multiple access points around the reservoir provide facilities for boat launching, fishing, and parking, with specific areas designated for camping and hiking activities.
The reservoir serves triple functions of flood control, drought management, and hydroelectric power generation while supporting numerous recreational activities throughout all seasons.
