About This Access Site
Dew Drop Campground provides a one-lane concrete boat launch on the Kinzua Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir near Tiona in Warren County. **Important note: Launch access is restricted to campground users only.** The ramp is suitable for smaller craft and motorized boats but may be steep for large vessels. The launch is typically available during the summer season, and a launch dock is provided seasonally. For current conditions, contact the facility at 814-368-4158.

The Allegheny Reservoir (created by Kinzua Dam) is a 29-mile-long impoundment surrounded by forest, offering a popular recreation destination for boating, fishing, and water sports. The campground sits on 11 acres along scenic Kinzua Bay. If you're not camping at Dew Drop, several nearby boat access campgrounds—including Pine Grove, Hopewell, and Morrison—are located within 10 miles and may offer alternative launch options. The facility is accessed via PA-59 east from Warren, then south on Longhouse Scenic Byway (Forest Road 262) for 3 miles.
