Discovering Unique Attribultes of Our Local Creeks

There are incredible places to explore along the Clarion and Allegheny River watersheds that hold wonderful scenic beauty, historic archaeological sites, and seldom viewed animals, right here in our own backyard. We will leave promptly at the Park Office where we will be car-pooling potentially dozens of miles out to some of these areas. We will be taking long energetic difficult hikes through often steep muddy weedy off-trail terrain into some of these hard to reach, but incredibly rewarding places. Things to possibly see along the way include huge conglomerate boulders, scenic vistas, rock outcrops, and seldom seen herps. Sorry, but participants must be in excellent physical shape to attempt this program. Please bring good hiking boots, walking stick, lunch, and plenty of water.
