Address: Campground Road, Leeper, PA 16233

There are many things to see and do during your stay at Cook Forest, from walking amongst magnificent, tall, and ancient old growth forests to taking a scenic float down the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River. Do you like to investigate wildlife, take a hike on a trail, or are you just trying to find a short break from the rigors of life? There’s just so much to do in such a short amount of time that it’s impossible to pack it all in one trip. We challenge you to leave your electronic gadgets at home and start a family tradition that will last generations… many of your fellow campers already have! Bring your chairs and blankets to the Ridge Camp park amphitheater for an evening virtual tour that will bring back many memories and help you to make new ones.

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.
