Welcome to another travel adventure! In today’s episode we will be visiting Cook Forest State Park. This park is located near the southwestern-most portion of the Allegheny National Forest - another stunning location you must check out! This part of Pennsylvania is one of my favorite hiking locations due to the numerous trails you will discover. The 8,500-acre Cook Forest State Park and 3,136-acre Clarion River Lands lie in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Known for its stands of old growth forest, the park’s Forest Cathedral of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark. A scenic 13-mile stretch of the Clarion River flows through Cook Forest State Park and is popular for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing. Today we will be visiting 6 of my favorite spots - Seneca Point, the Fire Tower, River Hike, Forest Nook Restaurant, Parker Indian Trading Post and finally Memorial Fountain. Sit back, relax and enjoy today’s journey.
There are more than 47 miles of hiking trails and 4.3 miles of multi-use trails within Cook Forest State Park. An additional 24 miles of multi-use trails and eight miles of hiking trails are located within the Clarion River Lands.

I used to come here every fall with my mom, dad and 4 older brothers. We spent all day hiking and exploring. I went back in 2020 went I was pregnant by myself because I love it so much. Fall 2021 I took my son there. It’s one of my favorite places on earth. It makes me so happy. Next time you’re there you should check our Bear Town Rocks, The Farmers Inn and petting zoo, and the deer farm!! ❤️🌲 I absolutely love Seneca point

I love Bear Town Rocks

[@bernielamont825]

I remember climbing the fire tower, each platform getting narrower and narrower, great views from the top! Great video, i like the way that you spent a little more time at each spot.

Stuning place, and It was an awesome work with this video I saw It complete, I really recomend you to start a new channel focused exclusive in this kind of content so that way more people can join to your adventures, because KZbin is such a weird place so It won't recomend your sweet content to new people and your project can start growing, keep up the nice work my friend.

[@lkarloff]

Thank you for the feedback and recommendations my friend. Yes I agree KZbin can sometimes be a challenging place to grow if your channel is small. I am planning on it and doing more of a face/travel vlog type series for that channel.

In 1936 the movie with Gary Cooper was filmed here

[@lkarloff]

I’ll have to give that a watch! I love classic films. Thanks for watching my friend.
