Beartown Rocks in the Clear Creek State Forest features an exceptional scenic overlook perched high atop a “rock city” dating back to the last Ice Age!
Some of the individual boulders that make up this rock city are the size small houses.
And like Bilger’s Rocks in Clearfield County, oftentimes billed as “Pennsylvania’s Best Rock Outcropping”, Beartown Rocks is essentially a roadside attraction, meaning you can park right next to it and take a leisurely stroll through this “rock city” in Jefferson County.
Directions from Forest Ridge:
Turn right out of the campground, and drive 13.6 miles to Belltown. You will pass Gregg Road on your right (don’t take it), and another road that goes to the left that says Halton and Ridgway (don’t take that one either). Follow the sign to Belltown.
Cross the Belltown Bridge, and turn right on Route 949 after you cross the bridge. Drive 3.7 miles and turn left on Corbett Road. This is just past the sign on the left that says DCNR Forestry on the left.
Follow the signs to Beartown Rocks, and enjoy the view!
