The 7,182-acre Cook Forest State Park lies in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Once called the 'Black Forest,' and is famous for its stands of old growth forest. A 30-mile trail network composed of 27 marked trails runs through Cook Forest, and is the most popular attraction at this park. The 24 rustic cabins rent from the second Friday in April to late December. All cabins are minimally furnished. Each cabin has beds, mattresses, gas stove, refrigerator, and tables and chairs. From the east, take Exit 13 off of Interstate 80, then PA 36 north directly to the park in Cooksburg.
