Places To Ride and Visit Near Bradford, PA

Northwestern Pennsylvania offers some of the most breathtaking views and gorgeous scenery. The town of Bradford is just on the northeastern fringe of Allegheny National Forest, the only national forest in Pennsylvania. Bradford is also miles away from Allegany State Park, one of three state parks in Pennsylvania. 

Town of Bradford

Though Bradford initially boomed with the discovery of oil, it has since remained a small town in the area. The town is home to the Zippo company and has a small museum honoring their products. A little further south, you could also visit the Penn-Brad Oil Museum, which features old machinery used to drill oil. Further destinations will require longer rides, but to the south, there is the Kinzua Bridge State Park, which features a tall skywalk on a railway that overlooks a gorge. To the northeast, there is also Rock City Park, just across the New York state line that features huge formations and scenic trails. 

The Kinzua Bridge
