Area residents of all ages are invited out to Moraine State Park later this week for an afternoon of fun.
Park officials will welcome visitors on Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. for a Ground Hog Hike. As part of the day, participants will be led on a fun hike beginning at the Pleasant Valley Picnic Area on the South Shore.
The hike is approximately two miles over easy to moderate terrain while learning fun facts about animals and the park in the winter.
Those planning to attend are asked to bring their own snacks and water, as well as dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.
