Cook Forest State Park - Fire Tower Parking Lot

Address: Cooksburg, Pennsylvania 16217

Want to experience something different this year for Halloween instead of the standard “trick-or-treaters”? Walk back in time with us into the depths of the Forest Cathedral with an historical character from the past. Come view the ancient forest as we walk beneath the giants by candlelight within the picturesque Tom’s Run Valley. Either a French Marine from the 1750’s who saw these massive trees 250 years ago, or a lumberman from the 1800’s will be there to guide us. Program begins at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom. Bring your flashlights!

Tuesday, October 31 at 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Eagle Watch

29-03-25 All day

Please bring your binoculars and spotting scopes to the Park Office for a driving tour to eagle hotspots along the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River. This is the prime time of the year to view bald eagles on their nests and find new nesting sites. Expect a long car-pool and aggressive hike to some of the better areas, but the rewards will be worth it. Hot chocolate and coffee will be available at the Park Office to warm us up.
