5 Adventures To Try in Clearfield County

Rent a Slingshot

Stop by Wolf Run Adventures in Clearfield and rent a slingshot for a fun way to explore the county. A slingshot is so easy to drive, both automatic and manual are available, and no special training or equipment is necessary.

Climb in the drivers seat, fasten your seat belt and prepare for fun! This is such a great way to explore Clearfield County.

We zipped up, down and around country roads.

We stopped at historic spots, roadside attractions, vistas, drove to lakes and hiking trails.

We spent the day cruising the roads and never tired of feeling the wind in our hair and sun on our face.

Just be sure to watch out for wildlife crossing the road.

Elk Viewing

Did you know that Pennsylvania is home to the largest free-roaming elk herd in the Northeastern United States?

Elk can be seen year-round in the area, but fall is the best viewing time, in my opinion. The fall colors provide a great backdrop to the elk grazing in the fields.

There are a number of great elk viewing areas and even a wagon ride at the elk Country Visitors Center in Benezette.

During the fall if you listen closely you’ll hear elk bugle.

Go early in the morning just as the sun starts to break across the horizon or early in the evening right before dusk for the best viewing times.

Bilger’s Rocks

Get out and hike at Bilger’s Rocks, rock outcroppings 300 MILLION YEARS in the making. These unique rock formations are so much fun to climb through and around.

Now, I haven’t visited all the rock outcroppings in Pennsylvania, but so far this is one of the best ones, in my opinion. There are hallways, great rooms, crevices, and even an ice cave.

Visit the “ice cave” so named because of how long the ice stays in the cave and crawl through 25 feet of pitch black until you see a crack of light at the opposite end.

You just have to go forward on faith until you see a crack of light at the opposite end.

A great visit for those that love caves. Me, I’ll stay in the light.

If you love scrambling around giant rocks and exploring nooks and crannies this is the place for you.

Be sure to see the views from the top because they are fun and it’s interesting to see the rocks from a different perspective.

I would plan on spending at least 2 hours at the park, longer if you really love playing in the outdoors or want to enjoy a picnic while you are there.

The Depot at Dolittle Station

Doolittle Station is an entire entertainment complex that you’re going to want to visit. From a dinosaur museum and ax throwing to an overnight stay in a presidential train car to great food and a brewery.

The Dinosaur Museum located at the Doolittle Station entertainment complex is a newer Clearfield County museum and it keeps adding dinosaurs and soon dragons!

The museum opened in 2018 and lets kids and kids at heart walk through the jungle and safely encounter dinosaurs that roar and move.

Be sure to try your hand at ax throwing, the newest addition to the complex. Afterwards grab a beer and pizza at Boxcar Brew Works.
