As always it was a very delightful visit. I have grew up here in Grampian all my life and Bilgers Rocks is only about 3 miles away so has always been a place to go enjoy myself in mother nature once in awhile. And no matter how many times in my life time that I have visited such a Beautiful and Naturally Wondrous God made landscape such as the Amazingly Mamoth Sized Formations or solid rock that has been here for hundreds of thousands of years. And what is even more amazing is how exactly they have all considerably remained in placement as I have always have known them to be placed. Some being stacked on top of one another and never shifting or falling. Only thing I can see that does change with time is that some of the trees grown larger with more exposed roots on top of the rocks. And some trees died and fell over creating the look of an old untamed forest. No one cuts any trees down, but some that fall do get used for fire wood. And I myself have even searched the lower portions of forest below the main rock formations for some drift wood stump pieces that I have collected and brought home to clean loose debris from piece, and then apply several coats of polyurethane to the piece to create a Beautiful piece of art that can be placed on a shelf or table as a decoration or reminder of how beautiful all of God's Creations really are, and even in some of that for which is no longer alive. Just left over remnances of something that once stood strong and tall, and being just a small part of that for which all comes together in the total beings of that which is a combined creation all working harmoniously together both in life and in death. And if I have anything to say to those whom never have got the pleasure of experiencing the very essence and History of the Rocks & Forrest at Bilgers Rocks outside of Grampian in Greenwood. Then you really need to take at least one weekend of the Summer this year to plan for a little venture for you and or the family or friends, or even just a bit of Naturally Bonding together with a Love Intrest of ones. And I'll guarrenty that you'll enjoy yourself so much, and that of whom ever else it is that you bring along in sharing the experience with. In simply taking in all the Natural ambiance of just one of God's Beautiful Creations, that you'll most likely be back to visit many more times in your life. And may even bring more others to seeing it for their very first time ever as well. And there's really not a problem with a lot of bugs. The terrain around the actual rocks don't get very muddy and slippery, although the moss on the Rocks can tend to be a little slippery when wet. Just be thinking of wearing something with a good tread that's not to hard of a compound so that you'll have the best footing possible. And with any huge elaborate rock formations of many different shapes, sizes, angles, and heights. There is always a bit of caution that needs to be taken when walking across or between the many cave like passages, to always keep a safe planned out footing and direction of passage taken in front and always use caution with the many different terrains.

while looking for pet friendly lodgings for a trip east i decided on Clearfield pa and Bilgers rocks as something to do while waiting on check in time...the route there is an adventure in itself...and no you cannot hear banjos in the distance...anyway we got there around 11 and did a quick walk around the entry area reading the informational signs and taking a few pics...i see they are trying to restore the american chestnut tree that was devastated by blight...good luck with that...the park is maintained by volunteers and not a govt agency so donations are welcomed...we started out on top of rocks and was immediately engulfed by nits that persisted until we stopped swatting at them...i had to tighten my lil guys collar a couple of notches because he kept wanting to see how close he could get his nose to the edge of the crevices...going down below we kinda went went in sideways so didn't get to see all the landmarks listed... this was in Jul so it was a pleasant surprise to find it so cool and bug free...us being older climbing the walls and crawling thru the passages were out of the question but i ca see the draw...i did get an eerie sense of the old ones that came before us and how that space was used by them...before leaving we stopped at the concession stand which has many tasty items...we had the Texas dog which had fried onions chili and cheese and met Dennis, one of the volunteers who was a font of info on the area and ongoing scientific studies there...plus he has great treats for your four legged companion...it slipped my mind to asked where the name for the park came from...and if you go don't be a JC

Great sites and enjoyable climbing in a relatively safe environment for kids... there are a variety of caves, crevices, and rock formations to climb on, over, and through. The main parking lot includes handicapped parking, restroom facilities, water, and a concession stand. The rocks are a quick walk from the parking lot, or accessible from the road a few hundred yards from the parking lot. This is free; however donations to the not for profit community group that oversees the park is recommended. There are a few "must see" formations in the park but no signs that point towards them. Bring a plastic bag to pick up trash left by other visitors, there is a lot of it near the camp ground.

In an area where there are few attractions outside of beautiful scenery and historical sites, Bilger's Rocks are like finding gold in a cornfield! Incredible and interesting geology! Not handicap accessible unfortunately. What makes it fun also makes it a "use at your own risk" type danger; no regulations, no fences, nobody telling you what to do. Deep, cavernous ravines, the raw eerie beauty of Pennsylvania forests, and a multitude of different paths make this ideal for little kids and anyone with an adventurous side. We love hiking and climbing here when we visit! If you know ahead of time that you're not going to a safety-managed attraction...you'll have as much fun as we do!

Really neat place to explore❤️ A trail was marked and it was also on the map that was posted but I guess due to all the leaves on the ground we could not figure out where it was. Lots of crevices with steep drop offs that children could fall into so keep an eye on them if you bring them. Definitely colder amongst the rocks so bring a hoodie or a jacket or even gloves if you're taking pictures. Found a small hidden stream as well. There's picnic tables a pavilion playground for kids and fire pits.

Here is a really cool place if you happen to be in the Clearfield Punxsutawney Dubois area. Make sure you find this place and go check it out. Natural formation of rocks that have passageways big huge boulders and there’s even a cave called the ice cave. And there’s actually ice in the bottom of it in the dead of summer. Very neat place to have a picnic with your family. And it is a Pennsylvania state park.
