Crossing One Bridge at a time
|
The Longfellow Trail to the Forest Cathedral is one of Cook Forest State Park's iconic features and the bridges covering Tom's Run take thousands of visitors each year across the stream. Now the bridge at Pavilion #1 has been closed due to rust pockets eroding the steel i-beams that support the structure. It must be replaced. Other bridges over this stream will suffer the same fate and must also be replaced.
You may donate online here. If you would prefer to mail a check/money order for this project, please make payable to PPFF with "bridge replacement project" on the memo line and mail to: Friends of Cook Forest PO Box 31 Cooksburg, PA 16217 |
