Once called the "Black Forest," the area is famous for its stands of old growth forest. A National Natural Landmark, Cook Forest's "Forest Cathedral" contains white pine and hemlock that tower to well over 150 feet, including the Longfellow Pine, measured by plumb and tape measure at 180 feet 11 inches. The Clarion River on the park's east border is popular for canoeing and rafting. The park itself has over 30 miles of hiking trails through this spectacular and special ancient forest.
