Clear Creek State Park:
A Little Slice of Heaven

JEFFERSON
COUNTY
Last June, good fortune smiled on me, and I found
myself with a full day free of any responsibilities. Giddy
at the prospect of a day without errands, I did not want
to waste the day puttering around the house. This day
called for a road trip. Closing my eyes, I blindly pointed
to a spot on the Pennsylvania map that hangs in my
office. Upon opening my eyes, I saw that my finger was
planted squarely on Sigel, Jefferson County. Some quick
research revealed that Sigel is close to both Cook Forest
State Park and Clear Creek State Park. Having been to
Cook Forest State Park previously, I opted for the, as of
yet unknown to me, Clear Creek State Park. Car loaded,
sunglasses on, radio cranked, I was ready to roll. Clear
Creek State Park or bust.
The trip was uneventful. Soon, I was turning off of
U.S. Route 80 and onto State Route 949 into and through
Sigel. Shortly, I arrived at Clear Creek State Park, excited
to see what this park had to offer. Pulling into the

parking lot, I was able to see a body of water through the
trees. Later, I learned that the creek had been dammed to
create a pond complete with a sand beach, which is open
for swimming from late May to mid-September from
8:00 a.m. to sunset. But, be warned, swimming is at your
own risk. More exploration revealed restroom facilities,
picnic shelters, playgrounds, and camping sites scattered
throughout the park.
