Cook Forest

 

Cook Forest has its own unique beauty in every season; Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall…

Discover over 7400 acres of natural splendor in Cook Forest State Park. The heart of this renown area is the Forest Cathedral - presenting the finest stand of virgin white pine and hemlock in the Eastern United States.

Enjoy picturesque views while hiking over 27 miles of well-marked awe-inspiring trails. Go canoeing or tubing down the wild and scenic Clarion River. Horseback riding, picnicking, and swimming are very popular. Other local activities include: go-cart racing, bumper boats, water slides, a petting zoo, golf and miniature golf. Hunting and fishing are major activities.

Winter months generally offer ice skating, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and sledding. The nearby Allegheny National Forest offers miles of open trailers for RVs, and snowmobiles, and the start of the train ride to the famous Kinzua Bridge.

In autumn watch as the forest turns to brilliant shades of saffron yellow, scarlet red and bright orange. Springtime brings the blossoms of fruit trees and dogwoods. Mountain Laurel blooms in May, Rhododendron in June.

Visit the Old Sawmill Theatre for summertime theatrical performances by local talent, and year round shopping for local arts and handcrafted items. Shopping enthusiasts will find a wide variety of unique items in the country store and antique shops that line the area's rural roads and farmlands.

Steaks, hot dogs, "some-mores" and casual conversation are always better at your own campfire in the woods. Be alert and you will see deer, other forest animals, and if luck is with you...a black bear.
