     Cooks Forest State Park is another "Pennsylvania National Natural Landmark" along the Clarion River and near the Allegheny National Forest. Cooks Forest was once called the "Black Forest", famous for its stand of OLD GROWTH FOREST.  The "Forest Cathedral Natural Area" is one of the largest old growth forests of eastern white pine and eastern hemlock in Pennsylvania. Many of these magnificent pine and hemlocks exceed three feet in diameter and approach 200 feet tall. Often called "William Penn Trees," trees of this size are often 300 years of age, dating to the era of William Penn, the first Governor of "Penn's Woods." It is fitting that this forest remains in the midst of the area that saw the greatest logging boom in the history of Pennsylvania. In the late 1800s, thousands of acres of old growth forests were cut for the shipbuilding and construction industries. During the summer of 1956, a storm of tremendous force struck the "Forest Cathedral Natural Area" and destroyed some of the oldest and largest trees.
