  Location of the mouth of Kinzua Creek in Pennsylvania

Kinzua Creek /ˈkɪnzuː/ is a 26.5-mile (42.6 km) tributary of the Allegheny River in McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States.[4]
The upper reaches of the creek pass through Kinzua Bridge State Park, where the creek was spanned by the Kinzua Viaduct until a tornado destroyed the viaduct in 2003.[4]
Kinzua Creek (Native American for "turkey"[5]) joins the Allegheny Reservoir 10 miles (16 km) upstream of the city of Warren, a few miles upstream of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River.[4] The location is also the former location of Kinzua, an unincorporated community that was wiped out as a result of the construction of the Kinzua Dam.
