Park Naturalists conduct free environmental interpretive programs year round at Cook Forest. The splendor of the Forest Cathedral, a National Natural Landmark is unsurpassed. The 200 to 350 year old trees in this area measure as much as five feet in diameter and tower almost 200 feet in the air. The Forest Cathedral is easily reached via Longfellow Trail behind the Log Cabin Environmental Learning Classroom. Visitors can enjoy this ancient forest on over 47 miles of hiking trails and 4.3 miles of multi-use trails within Cook Forest State Park. An additional 24 miles of multi-use trails and 8 miles of hiking trails are located within the Clarion River Lands. Each of the marked trails offers a unique outdoor encounter. The Clarion River, a nationally designated Wild and Scenic Waterway, winds through Cook Forest State Park. Popular river activities include canoeing, tubing, kayaking, swimming and fish- ing. Northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye, catfish, trout and all species of panfish are abundant in the river. A fishing area designated especially for children and handicapped visitors is located near the Cook Forest State Park office. Seneca Point Overlook near the #9 Firetower offers a breathtak- ing view of the Clarion River Valley. The adventuresome can climb 70 feet to the top of the old #9 Firetower for an impressive view of the area. Clear Creek Clear Creek State Park covers 1,901 acres in the scenic Clear Creek Valley. Located just 11 miles from Cook Forest State Park, Clear Creek offers a unique outdoor experience. Hikers can explore the park on more than 25 miles of hiking trails. When in bloom, the beauty of the rhododendron and mountain laurel are unsurpassed. Many forms of wildlife inhabit the park including deer, black bear, turkey and grouse. The Ox-shoe Historical Trail is a popular self-guided attraction affording a leisurely walk through the park. Scenic views of the area are available at Bear Town Rocks Trail. This trailhead is located near the entrance to Clear Creek State Park. Opportunities abound for anglers in Clear Creek, where stocked and native brook trout can be found.

  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 8 – October 14, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 8 – October 14, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview Gorgeous color continues to abound throughout Penn’s Woods! While some northern counties have begun to fade, central forests are now stealing the show. Awesome color can be found from northwestern Pennsylvania through the Alleghenies and central Appalachians, to the Pocono region. Forecasted seasonable temperatures should facilitate a gradual transition of color throughout southern areas of the commonwealth, affording fantastic viewing opportunities into late October. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) stated that cool nights have brought on a splendid array of colors on the hillsides of northwestern Pennsylvania. Although peak is still more than a week away, every shade of yellow, red, orange, and brown is represented in the forested landscape. It’s a great time to get outdoors and take advantage of the autumn experience and the many opportunities to walk forested trails carpeted in newly fallen leaves! To view and enjoy the fall foliage by vehicle, consider taking routes 666, 62, 59, or 321.
