[[Major Israel McCreight]] of DuBois was an early advocate, promoter, and steward of the {{convert|8500|acre|adj=on}} [[Cook Forest State Park]], the first Pennsylvania State Park acquired to preserve a natural landmark. Cook Forest features 27 marked trails totaling 29 miles for hiking. The terrain is of rolling hills and cool valley streams. Scenic areas include the old growth forest, Fire Tower/Seneca Point and the Clarion River. Among Cook Forest's primary attractions is the "Forest Cathedral" area of old growth white pine and hemlock, some trees of which top 180 feet. About 5,000 acres are open to hunting, trapping, and the training of dogs during established seasons. Common game species are deer, wild turkey, bear, and squirrel. The Clarion River flows along the park border and provides fishing for trout, warm-water game fish and panfish. Visitors can canoe or kayak down the river.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/CookForestStatePark/Pages/default.aspx|title=Cook Forest State Park}}</ref>
