Leap Into Herpetology: Intro to Reptiles & Amphibians of Pennsylvania

Cook Forest & Clear Creek State Park will be conducting a 7.3mile interpretive float down the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River from Clear Creek’s boat launch to Cook Forest’s   4-mile launch.  Odds are pretty good we’ll see plenty of otter sign.  Along the way we’ll go past remnants of the old bridge, dam, and raft building sites at Clarington, go through the ripple and past rock cliffs of the Hogback, and talk about the rafting tragedy at Maze Gap.  Fishing is good along this stretch, don’t forget your poles!  Only experienced boaters permitted.  Please meet at the Clear Creek canoe launch near the playground.  Participants must pre-register by 7/20 by contacting the Cook Forest 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.  All boats, gear, and lunch provided.  Prior Cook Forestkayak training participants receive a 50% discount.  Register early, available spots go fast.  See you on the river!
