Rimrock Picnic Area and Overlook is an impressive recreation facility constructed in 1964 and refurbished in 2000. Magnificent cliffs of light-gray sandstone and conglomerate create a dramatic setting to view the Kinzua Creek arm of the Allegheny Reservoir, situated hundreds of feet below.
Rimrock Picnic Area and Overlook is a 2.5-mile black top road leading from Pennsylvania State Route 59 into the Rimrock area. This access road is a favorite for cross-country ski enthusiasts, since it retains snow longer into the spring. Mountain Laurel blooms throughout this area in early June. This provides access to awesome rock formations. This trail is quite steep, but worth the trip. (Degree of difficulty = most difficult)
The picnic area offers 20 tables, 12 outdoor grills, and vault restroom facilities, which are accessible for people with disabilities.
