Area residents are invited out to Moraine State Park later this week to enjoy the beautiful weather in the great outdoors.
In recognition of National Trails Day Friday, park staff will lead visitors on a difficult section of the North Country Trail toward the Muddy Creek Dam. This hike will begin at 2 p.m. at the McDanel’s Launch Area on the North Shore near pavilion 7. The hike will conclude around 4 p.m. Participants are advised to bring water and trail snacks.
Also on Friday, from 6 to 9 p.m. a Family Fishing Day is planned at the Bear Run Launch on the South Shore. Those planning to attend will be able to learn basic fishing skills like knot tying, casting, baiting, and removing a fish from a hook. No license is required and all equipment will be provided by the PA Fish and Boat Commission but adults must bring a child and children must bring an adult.
Pre-registration for this event is required by calling the park office or by visiting the DCNR Calendar of events website.
