Clarion River Boating Program: Arroyo Bridge-Spring Creek

Cook Forest State Park, Park Office

Cook Forest State Park will be conducting a 5.4 mile interpretive guided float down the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River from Arroyo Bridge to Spring Creek.  This section of river is rich in local history and contains the most challenging set of rapids on the river, “THE  X,Y,Z”.  We will be passing remnants of the Arroyo Tannery and have lunch along the abandoned Clarion River Railway near the Lilly Pond.  This is a true wilderness experience.  Fishing is excellent here so don’t forget your poles!  Only experienced boaters   permitted.  Please meet at the Park Office where we will drive to the starting point.  Participants must pre-register by 7/7 by  contacting the Park Office at (814)744-8407.  Registration limited to 10 boats.  Cost is $50/boat payable by cash, check, or  money order made out to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Prior Cook Forest kayak training participants receive a 50% discount.
