    Please bring your binoculars and spotting scopes to the Park Office for a driving tour to otter hotspots along the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River.  This is the prime time of the year to     witness otter activity.  Chances are good to observe otter sign such as slides, tracks, and latrines along the banks of the river.  Hot chocolate and coffee will be available at the Park Office to warm us up.  Maybe we’ll even get a chance to see a river otter romp in action!
