Sigel, March 14th, 2008 - A major rehabilitation project is anticipated to begin mid- summer 2008 at Clear Creek State Park, Jefferson County.  Upgrades include a modern restroom building with showers and flush facilities in the campground, two modern comfort stations in the cabin area, and extensive upgrades to the park’s aging water and sewage systems.  

The rustic cabins, yurts, family campground, and canoe launch will be open to the public from April 11, 2008 until June 13th, 2008, then will remain closed for the duration of construction.

Reservations may be made starting April 1, 2008 by calling 1-888-727-2757, or reserve online at www. Visit PA parks.com.  During the 2008 season, as construction allows, parts of the overnight areas may be re-opened to visitors on a first come – first served basis. 

All park day-use activities will continue during construction including swimming, picnicking, hiking, fishing, and environmental education programs.  Some trails and parking areas may be inaccessible due to construction work.  The public is advised to call the park for updated information on open areas, or check the park’s web page at www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/clearcreek.aspx.

As part of the PA WILDS, Clear Creek State Park offers year-round recreational activities on 1,836 acres of forested hillsides along Clear Creek and the scenic Clarion River.  Many of the facilities at the park were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
