5) May 29: PKP Rimrock Trail Memorial Day Bash
Location: Kinzua Beach
Location: Kinzua Beach
Time: Noon - 6pm
The initial success of the locally founded Pennsylvania Kinzua Pathways is the reason they are throwing a party on Sunday, May 29 at the Kinzua Beach parking lot. But it's not your usual Memorial Day cookout --although there will be plenty of food. The Rimrock Bash will feature lots of family activities at little or no cost to showcase the area's outstanding outdoor attractions.
The Rimrock Trail for the first time connects Kinzua Beach with one of the area's best attended sites, an overlook of Kinzua Lake unsurpassed in the region. A rudimentary trail was completed last fall and there are plans to add more amenities as time goes by. Success in this linking trail augurs well for proposed trails to link Kinzua Beach with Kinzua Marina and even the Kinzua Dam visitor's center with the marina and beach.
It's a big deal. That's why Kinzua Pathways and the local Council on Tourism and a variety of local businesses have teamed up for the Rimrock Bash.Food, music and vendors are lining up and we are excited to have Kinzua Cachers offering a Geocaching 101 Workshop. Join this class so you can join the GeoMeet with at least ten caches in the area; The Conservation District and Family Services have partnered with WCCBI and the Historical Society to hold the second leg of the Quadrathlon, a seasonal scavenger hunt style event with clues along the Rimrock Trail and in the Kinzua Beach area; Allegheny Outfitters will have canoes and kayaks available for a donation to PKP (thanks AO!) and will give a Beginners Backpacking Workshop; John Beard will give an Outdoor Cooking demo and tasting while giving an entertaining performance for kids of ALL ages! Plus, Volt Vision, an emerging lighting design company will offer an interactive installation that will be fun and educational too.
