Clear Creek State Park

Been coming to Clear Creek State Park for the last 20 years. One of my favorites because it is right on the Clarion River, great hiking inside the campground and home to one of our favorite restaurants (Farmer Inn) near by. The 60 sites have 50 with electric service. They range in size from huge to tiny. Most are fairly level except a few of the tiny ones where a pop-up is all you might fit. About 12- 13 are right on the river, which is great for canoeing, kayaking or inner tubing. The road into the campground ( 1.5 miles) is rather narrow with the need of a re-pavement job. From the nicely paved route 36 you turn onto route 949 for about 4 miles. Just before the campground entrance there is a rather steep 1/2 mile hill. There are a total of 3 showerhouses which are semi-modern, but I noticed the last few years are not kept as clean as when the summer youth work program kids used to do the cleaning. There are about 18 cabins near the campground also. Inside the campground there is a nature / lumbering museum. There is a small swimming lake just as you enter the park which is usually cold, but seems to be very popular on the weekends by the locals too. A lot of stonework from the CCC thru-out the park.
