Consisting of five counties, Jefferson, Elk, Clarion, Forest, and Cameron. Each offering countless outdoor adventures and exciting things to do, see, and experience.
Visitors can paddle the Clarion River, 2019 Pennsylvania River of the Year. The Clarion flows through beautiful Cook Forest State Park, which is best known for stands of giant, ancient hemlocks and pines. Longfellow Trail through the Forest Cathedral lets visitors to step back in time and walk through an ancient forest with some trees over 350 years old. The Longfellow Pine is the tallest tree in the northeast US at over 184 ft. The scenic Clarion River flows through the park and is popular for kayaking, canoeing, inner tubing, and fishing.
Nearly 1,000 wild elk roam the rugged mountains of Elk and Cameron counties.
