We're never far from adventure in Pennsylvania - whether we're daredevils, or we prefer a more laidback experience. Home to some of the oldest trees in the state, this Pennsylvania state park features several natural and manmade wonders, making it more than worthy of a spot right at the top of your bucket list. You'll also cross a swinging bridge that's sure to take your breath away.

Wander through an old-growth forest and over a swinging bridge when you embark on a good, old-fashioned adventure at Cook Forest State Park in Cooksburg.

Follow the yellow blazes to stay on this well-maintained trail. The trailhead begins at the Log Cabin Educational Center.

Tallying just 1.7 miles, the Longfellow Trail Loop is brimming with manmade and natural beauty, but you'll have to be up for somewhat of a challenge.

If you've been wondering where you can find a "park with a wooden bridge near me," you've just hit paydirt. Cook Forest State Park is the place to go for an outdoor adventure.

Keep an eye out for downed trees, and be prepared for some moderate inclines along the way. Slipping on a sturdy pair of hiking shoes is always a good idea, too.

Cook Forest State Park's Forest Cathedral, through which the trail passes, is home to forest pine and hemlock trees that are believed to be more than three centuries old. Bring your camera along to capture snapshots of these gorgeous trees.

You'll also have to climb stairs and, if you're unlucky and one of the bridges is washed out, you may have to cross the stream. (Definitely wear shoes you don't mind getting wet.)

Take a moment to soak up the ambiance. Do you feel as though you've been dropped onto the pages of an old-fashioned storybook?

One of the highlights of this dog-friendly trail is the swinging bridge. It's not too high above the ground.

If you're bringing your pup along, be sure to clean up after him. All dogs must be leashed.

However, it might just cause a few chills as it sways back and forth while you cross.

Don't look down if you have a fear of heights. If you don't and there's no one around, stop and snap photos.

You'll cross over several scenic bridges along the way. Take a moment as you stroll over each to stop and admire the views.

The trail can get quite busy, so be prepared to run into other adventurers.

Open all year round, the trail offers scenic beauty in all seasons - from the blossoming flowers in the spring to the vibrant foliage in the fall. It can get quite icy during the winter, so consider using ice spikes.

After your trek, enjoy a picnic. The trailhead for Longfellow Trail features benches, picnic tables, and bathrooms.
