If you’re looking for open spaces with well-kept trails during your holiday in Pennsylvania, consider visiting Cook Forest State Park. The 8500-ac (3439 ha) park is known as the largest old-growth forest in the Keystone State given its abundance of hemlocks, white pines, oaks, maple, birch, and more. Due to the tree coverage, it was once dubbed the “Black Forest.” Cook Forest State Park is a great choice if you want to reconnect with nature. It can be a spot for different outdoor activities everyone can enjoy like hiking. If you want to go further, you may even embark on a road trip and visit some of the best places to go on a vacation in Pennsylvania, which include Allegheny National Forest up north and the city of Pittsburg, about a couple of hours drive southward. For your accommodation, there’s plenty of choices just around the corner. To help you choose, check out our list of the six best cabins with hot tub near Cook Forest State Park, Pennsylvania.
