The primary purposes of Allegheny Reservoir Wildlife management Area (WMA) are for wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. This is a 1,106 acre area located
15 miles southeast of Jamestown. This ecologically diverse area is home to hardwood forests as well as grasslands, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, swallows, and spiny soft-shelled turtles. Allegheny
Reservoir WMA was part of the lands acquired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that created the Allegheny Reservoir from the construction of the Kinzua Dam. The dam is located 9.7 miles upstream from
Warren, Pennsylvania. Since 1992, the property has been leased to the DEC and is managed by the Region 9 Bureau of Wildlife. Half of the area is forested with mixed hardwoods and conifers and the
remaining half is comprised of brush land and grassland.
