Clear Creek State Park

Clear Creek State Park occupies forested land with hardwood forests and wetlands along the Clear Creek Valley and Clarion River. The grounds include numerous hiking trails, camping sites with cabin rentals, and fishing areas throughout the property.

The park was founded in 1922, and its facilities were built during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. This period shaped the infrastructure that visitors see today.

The visitor center displays exhibits about the region's logging past and natural resources that shaped the valley. Guided nature walks help visitors learn about local wildlife and plants during their visit.

The park offers trails of varying lengths, diverse overnight accommodations, and access to fishing in Clear Creek. Visitors should check current conditions and park rules before arriving, especially when planning to stay overnight or fish.

The park offers Mongolian-style yurts alongside traditional wooden cabins for visitors seeking varied lodging options. This unusual alternative provides a different camping experience for those interested in trying something distinctive.
