Allegheny River
Car Camping At Buckaloons Campground
September 26, 2015
10:00 am Buckaloons Recreation Area
The Allegheny River
The river is located in the Northeastern United States and is a principal tributary of the Ohio River
The river is approximately 321*miles (517*km) long, and drains a rural dissected plateau of 11,580*square miles (30,000*km?) in the northern Allegheny Plateau, providing the farthest northeastern drainage in the watershed of the Mississippi River. The valley of the Allegheny River is one of the most productive areas of energy extraction in U.S. history, with extensive deposits of coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
In 1992, 86.6*miles (139.4*km) of the Allegheny River was designated a National Wild and Scenic River. This designation comprises three segments of the river located in Warren, Forest and Venango Counties. Seven islands in the river located between Kinzua Dam and Oil City, total 368*acres (1*km?), comprise the Allegheny Islands Wilderness, the smallest federally designated wilderness area in the United States. These designations have been made due to the significant ecological, scenic and recreational features of the river.
