Located 12 miles from Brookville. From I-80 west, take Exit 78 (old Exit 12) and follow PA 36 north to PA 949 north. From I-80 east, take Exit 73 (old Exit 13) and follow PA 949 north. The park entrance is on the left.
A stop to Clear Creek is a must for any adventure or outdoor person. The park has a lot to offer and it is maintained well. I enjoyed my hike with the streams and the wildlife on the hike. It is not hard to find.
We stayed in Yurt 2. A great place to rest and relax, with access to lots of trails to hike on. The yurts have a stove and full fridge and freezer, as well as four single beds, two bunks. The yurt has a deck that overlooks the Clarion River, which is right down the hill. Dedicated outdoor water access, no internal plumbing or restroom. Outdoor portable restroom stationed just outside the yurt area, dedicated to the two yurts.
Drove 16 hours to camp at our usual site. Called the ranger ahead of the visit and asked how the trout were biting and they said they were. Showed up and fished for 2.5 days with no trout. Fishing was horrible and with three people you would think that something other than 4 inch smallmouth would be caught. The area is truly beautiful though. Crisp clear water. Saw Bald Eagle flying over the Clarion.
Such a gorgeous park and area to explore! The leaves were peak color and so breathtaking!!!
Stopped at the park office for my passport stickers and chatted with the park ranger. She was super friendly and even made me a copy of a helpful map of the state forests!
