Is there any creature cuter than a river otter?

Decide for yourself Feb. 16 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. during a free Otter Watch at Cook Forest State Park.

Pack your binoculars and spotting scopes and get to the park office for the start of a driving tour to otter hotspots along the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River. Cook Forest staff says this is the best time of the year to witness otter activity. Chances are good to observe otter sign such as slides, tracks, and carp kills along the banks of the river.

Hot chocolate will be available at the park office.
