Welcome to another travel adventure! In today’s episode we will be visiting Cook Forest State Park. This park is located near the southwestern-most portion of the Allegheny National Forest - another stunning location you must check out! This part of Pennsylvania is one of my favorite hiking locations due to the numerous trails you will discover. The 8,500-acre Cook Forest State Park and 3,136-acre Clarion River Lands lie in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Known for its stands of old growth forest, the park’s Forest Cathedral of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark. A scenic 13-mile stretch of the Clarion River flows through Cook Forest State Park and is popular for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing. Today we will be visiting 6 of my favorite spots - Seneca Point, the Fire Tower, River Hike, Forest Nook Restaurant, Parker Indian Trading Post and finally Memorial Fountain. Sit back, relax and enjoy today’s journey.

There are more than 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 eight miles of hiking trails are located within the Clarion River Lands.
