Hello,
Information on car camping weekend May 15-17
The 8,500-acre Cook Forest State Park lies in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Once called the Black Forest,the area is famous for its stands of old growth forest. Cook Forest?s Forest Cathedral of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark. The Clarion River connects Clear Creek State Park to Cook Forest State Park along a scenic 10-mile stretch of river which is popular for canoeing and rafting.
We will be paddling the Clarion River from Clear Creek State Park To Cooksburg Pa,(this is 10 miles) on May 16. Clear Creek State Park is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Youngstown, Ohio
