hiking trails, there is something for

Park, which continues into Cook Forest State
Park, connecting the two parks), to the 0.3
mile, Big Coon Trail, which connects Big
Coon Picnic Area to Clear Creek Trail. Many
trails follow old logging roads, offer scenic
overlooks, and the potential to spot wildlife
such as squirrels, deer, turkeys, and bears.

about Clear Creek State Park, she told me, " I
absolutely fell in love with Clear Creek years
ago, after accidentally stumbling upon it on
the way home from a fishing trip up north.
The hiking trails, fishing, and pet- friendly
camping is what hooked me. Some people love
the beach, I love the forest, campfires, and the

slice of heaven. "
