Cook Forest State Park
State Park — National Natural Landmark · Cooksburg, Pennsylvania
Eight thousand acres on the Clarion River holding the Forest Cathedral, a stand of old-growth eastern white pine and hemlock that was never logged and is now one of the largest surviving tracts of its kind in the north-eastern United States. Some of the pines are over three hundred years old and exceed a hundred and eighty feet, which is close to the maximum the species reaches anywhere. It is a National Natural Landmark, and the forest is the entire reason to come.
