River Critters

Cook Forest 218 River Cabins Road, Cooksburg, PA, United States

Please bring your river sneakers, swimsuits, and snorkels to the Park Office as we drive to nearby watersheds to search for and identify hard to find underwater creatures.  Various species of fish, mussels, snakes and salamanders often make an appearance.  This is truly a wilderness experience.  Expect no public bathrooms.  Bring lunch & water.  Children must be with a participating adult.

Searchin’ for Herps’ in the Clarion River Valley

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.
