- Elk Herd
Once roaming across the state, elk were completely eliminated by 1867. Rocky Mountain elk were introduced from 1913 through 1926 and now number more than 800. Elk can be seen along many roadways within the 227 square-mile elk range. Best times for activity are at dawn and dusk. Cows live just north of Benezette and weigh up to 500 pounds. Most calves are born from the end of May to mid-June. Bulls form bachelor groups, living primarily near St. Marys except during the September and October breeding season. They can weigh as much as 800 pounds. Autumn is a particularly good time to hear the bugle call of the elk, especially on a moonlit night. The Dent's Run viewing area is located near Benezette on Winslow Hill off of Route 555. Just follow the signs. Visitors may park here and take photographs, but feeding the elk is against the law. - Campers Paradise Campground & Cabins
Camper's Paradise Campground offers year round cabin rentals and campsites with fire rings. It's located just South of Cook Forest and one mile from the Clarion River.
