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.

Join Friends of Cook Forest and the park naturalist as we hike the seldom visited Blyson Run Loop in the Clarion River Lands. We’ll discuss local history as we walk from the river up to the ridge and back. Expect a steep climb from the river and small stream crossings. We’ll meet at the park office to shuttle/car pool to the parking area. Friendly dogs are welcome.
