Clarion River

The Clarion River is the heartbeat of the forest. It is calm and clear in many sections, which makes it a favorite for beginners. In the summer, floating the river is one of the best ways to slow down and enjoy the scenery. You can rent canoes, kayaks, or tubes nearby.

Fishing is also popular here. You might catch trout or bass. Wildlife spotting is part of the fun too. Bald eagles are sometimes seen near the river, and it is a peaceful way to spend a warm-weather afternoon.
