Review:
The 8,500-acre Cook Forest State Park is known for its magnificent old growth forest of towering hemlocks and white pines. A 13-mile long stretch of the Clarion River runs through the park, making it a wonderful place to enjoy unspoiled nature. The best way to do it is to take one of 16 well-marked trails that run through the park for 30 miles. One of the longest is the 4.1-mile Bridle Trail, which consists of two trails that are also permitted for horses. One trail joins the scenic Browns Run Trail and is a great place to look for wildlife and birds. The other bridle trail begins at Forest Drive and joins the Old Logging Road Trail and is flat and easy. Both trails are in the part of the forest that is open to hunting, so be careful.
