Summer is a great time of year to go out looking for snakes, frogs, salamanders, and turtles. We will start our car-pool at the Park Office to help the park naturalist survey herp’ hot spots along the Clarion. Participants must be able to traverse steep muddy slopes, high weeds, and rocky terrain. Sturdy walking stick, hiking boots, and long pants are advised.
Please meet at the Park Office for a strenuous steep often off-trail hike through the finest known stand of old growth hemlock in the Northeast. We will be visiting and remeasuring the two tallest known hemlocks in Pennsylvania, the Seneca and Mohawk hemlocks. Many hemlocks commonly surpass 300 years old with the tallest approaching 150ft high!
Please bring your binoculars and meet at the Fire Tower Parking Lot for an historical interpretive tour of the Fire Tower and Seneca Point. Learn about local logging history, observe Indian sign, and take a breathtaking view from the top of the Fire Tower.
