However, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the valley and approximately 24 miles of the river throughout both Clear Creek and Cook Forest state parks and the Clarion River Lands.The Clarion River is designated a National Wild and Scenic River for its scenic beauty, water quality, and archaeological significance.Many sections of the river provide a glimpse into the past. Since the river was used as a transportation route, signs of settlements are located along the river banks. The most prevalent signs are from the logging era. Bracket dams and log landings are still visible.Because river corridors are natural transportation routes, the Clarion River hosts a great diversity of plants and animals.Plant species include:Cardinal flowerMountain laurelRhododendronMany species of forest treesCommon bird species include:Bald eagleGreat blue heronKingfisherMerganserWild turkeyMammal species include:Black bearDeerMuskratPorcupineRiver otterDo Not Feed WildlifeFeeding wild animals is prohibited.
