About Cook Forest State Park
Cook Forest State Park covers about 8,500 acres in northwestern Pennsylvania, with a neighboring 3,136-acre tract of Clarion River Lands. Its old evergreen woods are the draw, especially the Forest Cathedral, a stand of tall white pines and hemlocks that holds National Natural Landmark status. A scenic stretch of the Clarion River runs through the park, and visitors use it for paddling and tubing. Clear Creek State Park lies a short drive away. The Log Cabin Environmental Learning Center displays historic logging and rafting tools, and the nearby Sawmill Center for the Arts offers crafts, classes, and summer theater.
