Clarion River Campsites

## Overview

Loleta Recreation Campground sits along the east branch of Millstone Creek in
the southwestern corner of the Allegheny National Forest, offering a peaceful
getaway that is popular with families.

## Recreation

Camping is available in both the primitive upper loop and the more developed
lower loop. The Day Use area with picnic tables and grills centers around a
Civilian Conservation Corps dam across Millstone Creek, which creates a small
swimming/wading area. Fishing the stream is permitted with a legal PA fishing
license, but the swimming area is off-limits between Memorial Day and Labor
Day. There is a 3-mile hiking trail that starts and ends at the campground,
passing a rock outcrop on the edge of the Millstone Valley at its furthest
point from the campground.

## Facilities

The lower loop of the campground has spacious campsites that are surrounded by
mature trees. The upper loop sites are smaller and tucked into the forest for
a more intimate feeling with nature. Each campsite has a parking spur, fire
ring, and picnic table. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided in the
camping loops while the Day Use area supports the bathhouse with flush
toilets, hot showers, and changing rooms.

## Natural Features

Loleta is a small opening in the forested hillsides around Millstone Creek.
Native tree species in the area include red oak, white pine, black cherry, red
and sugar maples, and a variety of others. Millstone Creek is a cold water
fishery with a thriving population of native brook trout, and it is also
priodically stocked by the Pennsylvania FIsh and Game Commission. Wildlife in
the area include whitetail deer, black bear, turkey, raccoon, oppossum, fox,
and smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles.

## Contact Info

For facility specific information, please call (814) 363-9090.

## Nearby Attractions

The Buzzard Swamp Hiking Trails, a 9.6-mile network of trails that wind
through an area of 15 man-made ponds, make for an enjoyable day trip just
north of Loleta, while driving down a dirt road extending south of the
campground leads to the beautiful Clarion National Wild and Scenic River. The
paved road along the river is popular for bike riding, and the river offers
access for canoes, kayaks, and tubes as well as fishing opportunities and
large boulders for picnicking or just watching the water roll by. Cook Forest
State Park is an easy drive for hiking, marveling at the grove of Old Growth
Hemlocks, or climbing an old fire tower for a view of the river.
