Sailing on Lake Arthur

Moraine State Park is located in Western PA and is mainly used for recreation in nature around Lake Arthur. People can partake in swimming, boating, hiking, and frisbee golf. Families can enjoy watching wildlife while picnicking or simply sitting in nature. There are countless trails for hiking and a beautiful 7 mile bike trail near the shore of the lake surrounded by shading trees and greenery. Cabins and group tents in the park allow people with a passion for the outdoors to stay overnight.
