Nice hike. Thank you Cliff! 😊❤️🙏

[@elizabethrowe7262]

Lovely botanical walk Cliff! You certainly know your wild plants and their growing conditions for them to grow in that area and also great place to camp too.

[@ruthgoebel723]

I thought the same thing when you opened your snack bar.....bear patties....😉!!! I haven't been to French Creek in many years. This will be a destination for my hiking pals. We did the west loop in Swatara State Park yesterday to check out what my old homestead looks like and to check out the locks along the Swatara. Great hike!

[@kateclark7250]

This was a lovely spring hike. Thanks!

[@kateclark7250]

Very nice hike. Thanks.

[@nickmad887]

love your channel Cliff Thanks

[@jwon5614]

Beautiful hike. Just the guy who wanted to run you down in the beginning seemed strange😬But everything else seems to be coming out for spring! Nice🌺🌷💞

[@darlenegood4101]

As always I enjoyed your hike. Thank you

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Spring has certainly sprung there. The little flowers so pretty. Turtles cute. Loved the sound of a frog 🐸 sounded like a motor bike. Lovely seeing the osprey too. Fantastic video thanks Cliff. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

[@brianferris1233]

🦅🌲🦅🌲 thank you for sharing your videos today 🌲🐻🌲

Allium vineale! Crows garlic!!! Dude I live in Philadelphia I find this all over the place. It’s so tasty! Went up to French Creek back in early March I need to get back there. Amazing hiking ground.

[@scottstafford7715]

I like all your videos. That mad guy with the black mask that marched up behind you, scared me. I thought you were about to get jumped. Keep up the great work. I like the way you give the locations so I could possibly find these places someday when I get out of Alabama.

[@jadawson43]

Enjoy your videos so much. I am down with my back and you do the hikes that I wish I could still do. Keep them coming.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Cliff, a lovely hike, the lake looked so beautiful and that frog sounded really weird almost like a model plane kind of sound. I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the sights and sounds of Spring. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Enjoyable hike. Are there any areas that you hike in the northeastern area of PA where you can stealth camp? Thanks

[@martyjones9374]

Beautiful hike! Love hearing the frogs, seeing the turtles, & all signs of spring. Interesting about the bees & skunk cabbage to stay warm. I actually found some wild onions in my yard today. Sounds like you were having a lovely Easter gathering with Jon & family. Thanks, great adventure. 🥰

[@kevinjames9495]

Hey Cliff! I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your commentary. I have learned alot about trails and historical places that you have showcased in your videos. I have made a list of the ones I have not been to yet. Hope to visit as many as I can this year. Thanks for your insight. God bless and keep up the good work. Kevin James

[@scrapsthecat1998]

We've hiked Boone, it's beautiful! Looking forward to going back and exploring the other trails more this year. French Creek is an incredible place to just get lost in.

[@samuelbonacorsi2048]

I’m thinking that candy bar reminds me of a bear turd.

[@marylutyger675]

We used to go to French Creek for camping, hiking, picnicing and swimming while we were growing up in Lancaster. My husband and I moved back to Lancaster County in 2008, and visited a number of times to picnic until we left for SC IN 2018. The lake we visited in the 50s and 60s is not there any more - they created a new lake at some point.

[@DebraGill]

Do you mean six penny?

[@heden1460]

That was interesting about the skunk cabbage being warmer and the bees.

[@DebraGill]

Welcome to my neck of the woods. I live very close by. My husband and 3 dogs used to hike there 3 times a week. Our favorite was the six penny trail. Only snake we ever saw besides the water snakes was a giant rat snake!

[@karenpacker8862]

Always look forward to your spring hikes finding the wild flowers.

[@michaelroucoulet3294]

that frog is kermit!

[@forrestbossler8075]

please do a video of ST> Peters village !! nice trails and rocks and stream there!!

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

In a couple months, revisit the skunk cabbage and look for the seed (fruit?). About the size of an egg, and interesting to disect. ...well, at least I find it interesting lol! After yet another 11 hour day at work, I really appreciated the beautiful hike! And, if it helps, I haven't seen any hepatica blooming here yet either, although the leaves are showing, so they may be behind.

[@hollynoelleAbductedUfologist]

Thanks so much. I used to live near the lower border of French Creek State Park and I miss the Lake. I used to walk a lot there. Its so peaceful and nice. Thanks

[@tyesoutherland4618]

Kentucky where i'm originally from has some beautiful historical Danial Boone trails, fort's, parks and of course his grave. Would be well worth adventuring one day.

[@davidcassidy5868]

I always enjoy going to Scotts Run in the Winter months to watch and talk with people there going ice fishing. Haven't been there the last few years though (for THAT anyway). I was at Hopewell Furnace last year though. 👍 post AGAIN, Mr. Z.

[@bruinsfan8278]

Love cliffs accent, right dares Naomi! Haha!

[@SimplyExploVenturing]

Can't wait to go camping there in late June and hike that myself and do a vid for it as well and check out the Hopewell Furnace & St. Peter's Village. Watch out for those waking timber rattlesnakes and copperheads .Horseshoe Tr is 144 miles Harrisburg to Valley Forge

[@jeniw8586]

Yes, I'm interested in frog sounds. You have different species than WA state. Except for spring peepers and tree frogs, we have lots of those. Enjoyed looking for Spring erupting!

[@WALTERZOLNA]

Cool sighting of the Osprey. Bald Eagles can be found there as well. I myself sometimes become frustrated when people engage in loud oblivious conversation on the trail. It certainly is their right to do so, but for me personally I enjoy the immersion in the natural world, the sights, sounds, and smells of the woods. As a quiet observer, the surrounding forest will soon begin to reveal itself and this is why I would choose to hike on a trail and not walk through my neighborhood for example...

[@dustin2dust351]

Beautiful spillway

[@reneereb6499]

That osprey made me wonder if you ever thought about a day trip to Conawongo Dam in Maryland off the Susquehanna River. There are lots of bald eagle to photograph or film.

[@gwenb4531]

LOl...yes it does look like something else...but at the same time, it also looks yummy in a weird sort of way.

[@nathanaelrios7075]

Hey I have a question did you ever see a wolf while hiking

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Nope

[@mac609]

Funny story about the last time I camped at French Creek about 25 years ago. Me and my then boyfriend now husband packed a ton of food for a three day camping adventure. The camping food turned out to be unappealing to both of us so we headed out of the park to Morgantown to McDonalds for dinner two nights in a row. Lovely park and best camping food ever! 🤣

[@stephenhiker9807]

Love The Boone! Daniel Boone was a man. A Big man. The bear was bigger. He ran like a up a tree.

[@DebraGill]

I know that song, my husband went to Daniel Boone. 😂

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

hi Woodsman hope watch later tfy am falling asleep 1.34am brian Ireland Sla'inte

[@fredgift7148]

I really enjoy your videos . I live and grew up in Berks and have never been to some of the places you visit. One think that would help make your videos would be a picture of the think you can't identify like the pickle frog. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I was there several years ago, might go again soon.
